Abstract
This paper presents GISMO, a graphical interactive student monitoring and tracking system tool that extracts tracking data from an on-line course maintained with a Course Management System, and generates graphical representations that can be explored by course instructors to examine various aspects of distance students. GISMO uses techniques from Information Visualisation to render into an appropriate graphical manner the complex multidimensional student tracking data provided by the Course Management System. GISMO aims to help instructors to become aware of what is happening in their classes and provide a better support to their learners.
