In the context of digital education, Learning Management Systems (LMS) play a critical role in the delivery and management of educational content. This study focuses on the use of Moodle Logs Analytics, an open-source tool, to analyze student interactions on the Moodle platform, within five editions of a Digital Narratives course in the Master's program of Digital Environments at the Bolivarian University of Ecuador. Through a quantitative analysis of 108,482 activity logs, student behavior was characterized in relation to resource access, forum participation, assignment submissions, and quiz completions. Additionally, non-parametric ANOVA tests (Kruskal-Wallis) and Spearman's correlation analyses were used to assess differences between course editions and the relationship between studied variables. The results revealed significant differences in access patterns and learning activities, highlighting variability in participation that did not always correspond with the number of resources available. It was observed that the edition PM-EED-B23-02P4-30 showed a significant increase in activities, though without a proportional increase in forum participation. Based on these findings, recommendations for implementing adaptive pedagogical strategies are proposed, and directions for future research that delve into learning analytics and its application in improving digital educational environments are suggested.
