A comparative analysis has been carried out in order to study the similarities and differences in the use and management of
space and time by students, based on their gender. The study analyses the data records generated by students from three
different degree courses in two universities, throughout four academic years. The methodology includes exploratory statistical
analysis and learning analytics for the detection of spatial, temporal and behavioural patterns. Results show a consistent
convergence in most cases, although they also show marginal behavioral trends, both for the days of the week, the hours of
the day, and for the different contents of the virtual campuses. This is more evident in its spatial aspect, which highlights some
clear differences in the processes of distribution and concentration of the events under study: at least in this case, women do
not act in the same way as men. Ultimately, the study proposes new forms of synergy between educational work and the
application of the Social Sciences’ disciplinary contents thus strengthening the transfer of knowledge from specific didactics
on both educational curriculum and teacher training.
