Resumo
A Educação a Distância é uma alternativa de ensino para indivíduos que necessitam horários e locais de estudo flexibilizados. Dentre as instituições que oferecem essa modalidade de ensino, a Universidade Estadual do Centro-Oeste (UNICENTRO) ministra cursos de graduação a distância por intermédio do Núcleo de Educação a Distância (NEaD). Em uma análise realizada, o NEaD destaca um alto índice de evasão de alunos. Para melhor entender essa realidade, institucionalmente, formalizou-se um projeto de extensão empregando tecnologias da Ciência de Dados. Iniciado em Junho/2018, o projeto visa inferir alguns elementos de análise e apoiar decisões pedagógicas a partir dos microdados do Ambiente Virtual de Aprendizagem MOODLE. Neste sentido, este artigo tem como objetivo relatar os primeiros passos do referido empreendimento. Decorridos seis meses de execução, dentre os resultados preliminares alcançados, pontua-se: i) o estabelecimento de um workflow para desenvolver os cenários de exploração e visualização de dados; ii) a concepção de uma camada para ingestão de dados, mitigando os efeitos indesejáveis de versionamento de modelos de dados do MOODLE; e iii) a formalização de um meio de comunicação para com os gestores do NEaD/UNICENTRO, quando da prospecção de cenários de exploração de dados.

Abstract
Distance Learning is a teaching alternative for individuals who need flexible schedules and places for studying. Among the institutions that offer this kind of education, the Universidade Estadual do Centro-Oeste (UNICENTRO) teaches undergraduate distance courses through the Núcleo de Educação a Distância (NEaD). In an initial analysis, the NEaD highlights a high evasion rate among students. To better understand this reality, institutionally, a project was formalized using Data Science technologies. Initiated in June/2018, the project aims to infer some elements from the microdata of the MOODLE Learning Management System for supporting pedagogical decisions. In this sense, this article aims to report the first steps of this effort. After six months of execution, the preliminary results achieved include: i) the establishment of a workflow for developing data exploitation scenarios; ii) the design of a data layer, mitigating the undesirable effects of versioning of the MOODLE’s data model; and iii) the formalization of a communication model with the NEaD/UNICENTRO managers, when prospecting data exploitation scenarios.
