Abstract: The objective of the research is to perform an analysis of the typology of data in virtual learning environments (VLE) in order to define the variables of resources and activities in virtual learning environments (VLE) in order to improve the management of resources and activities. The methodology applied consisted of the analysis of the resources and activities of the Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle of the Faculty of Education of the National University of San Agustin de Arequipa, the phases of data understanding and data preparation of the LMS were implemented, through the analysis of the management of resources and classroom activities, the results show that the data stored in the LMS can potentially be used to measure, inform and improve the participation of students in the teaching-learning processes. However, in order to perform a complete analysis, variables that are part of the research proposal were additionally included, these variables are identified as factors that influence student performance and their inclusion in data mining projects requires more detailed research, likewise, resources and activities, their simple and derived attributes of each of them were observed, to define the type of objectives, either descriptive or predictive about each of the activities and resources. The results were satisfactory since they allowed defining the objectives and the type of variables to measure the effectiveness of these resources and activities in virtual learning environments to be effectively applied by teachers through the different courses in Virtual Learning Environments (VLE). The conclusions allow offering a methodological proposal for a better management of resources and activities in VLE.
