Résumé scientifique

The focus of this research was to use Educational Data Mining (EDM) techniques to conduct a quantitative analysis of students interaction with an e-learning system through instructor-led non-graded and graded courses. This exercise is useful for establishing a guideline for a series of online short courses for them. A group of 412 students' access behaviour in an e-learning system were analysed and they were grouped into clusters using K-Means clustering method according to their course access log records. The results explained that more than 40% from the student group are passive online learners in both graded and non-graded learning environments. The result showed that the difference in the learning environments could change the online access behaviour of a student group. Clustering divided the student population into five access groups based on their course access behaviour. Among these groups, the least access group (NG-41% and G-42%) and the highest access group (NG-9% and G-5%) could be identified very clearly due to their access variation from the rest of the groups.

    Résumé scientifique

    Educational data has grown over the years with the increased use of technology within educational environments. This has led to a huge amount of data being stored in various data sources representing the student, his/her activities, and other aspects relevant to the learning process. To meet this analytical need, Educational Data Mining (EDM) has emerged to assist educational institutions in identifying key benefits such as students at risk, the level of student engagement or predicting student performance. The aim of this research was to explore the various aspects of student interaction data using data mining techniques to identify relevant patterns of behaviors and possible key attributes…

    Résumé scientifique

    Abstract: In an online learning environment where students do not have direct face-to-face interactions with instructors, observing their learning behaviors is quite challenging. As we move from traditional to virtual classrooms, it is important to look into the learning methods and approaches that can be used to have a deeper understanding of student participation in an online learning environment, especially in the Philippine setting where this type of research is relatively very scarce or not investigated at all. This study showed the advances in employing the combination of cluster analysis and data mining in assessing the students' online access patterns and performance. Using the data …

    Résumé scientifique

    The Learning Management System is an innovative tool to facilitate online learning using technology. It monitors students’ learning progress and actions. As most academic institutions are already shifted from the traditional learning to online and blended learning approaches, analysis of students’ learning behaviors is empirical to design necessary and suited academic intervention programs. With this, the researchers aimed to identify significant attributes affecting student academic performance in an online education environment. The knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) was used to provide step by step process in extracting and evaluating the predictive and cluster models which aim to cla…

    Résumé scientifique

    Abstract Online learning systems allow learners to freely access learning contents and record their interactions throughout their engagement with the content. By using data mining techniques on the student log data of those systems, it is possible to examine learning behavior and reveal navigation patterns through learning contents. This study was aimed at investigating how learners’ characteristics affect their online learning behavior by using sequential pattern mining and clustering techniques. Participants were 74 undergraduate students from a public university, whose interactions with four different kinds of learning contents in an online learning system were collected. Results showed s…

    Many factors could affect the achievement of students in distance learning settings. Internal factors such as age, gender, previous education level and engagement in online learning activities can play an important role in obtaining successful learning outcomes, as well as external factors such as regions where they come from and the learning environment that they can access. Identifying the relationships between student characteristics and distance learning outcomes is a central issue in learning analytics. This paper presents a study that applies unsupervised learning for identifying how demographic characteristics of students and their engagement in online learning activities can affect t…

    Clustering also called cluster analysis is the task of data objects grouping where group objects are similar. Simultaneously, they should be different from other groups objects. Such groups are termed as Clusters. We are study in this paper several clustering algorithms applied in E-learning systems. Our objective lies in performing a deep analysis of clustering data mining techniques both theoretically and experimentally and to do a comparative study in order to distinguish which technique is more suitable to identify e-learners profile and also to evaluate better student performance in engineering education. A good clustering method is able to yield high quality clusters. The algorithms un…
