Evaluation of Usage Patterns for Web-based Educational Systems using Web Mining
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virtual courses often separate teacher and student physically from one another, resulting in less direct feedback. The evaluation of virtual courses and other computer-supported educational systems is therefore of major importance in order to monitor student progress, guarantee the quality of the course and enhance the learning experience for the student. We present a technique for the usage evaluation of Web-based educational systems focussing on behavioural analysis, which is based on Web mining technologies. Sequential patterns are extracted from Web access logs and compared to expected behaviour.

Use of Semantic Similarity and Web Usage Mining to Alleviate the Drawbacks of User-Based Collaborative Filtering Recommender Systems
One of the most famous methods for recommendation is user-based Collaborative Filtering (CF). This system compares active user’s items rating with historical rating records of other users to find similar users and recommending items which seems interesting to these similar users and have not been rated by the active user. As a way of computing recommendations, the ultimate goal of the user-ba...

Nowadays high fuzzy utility based pattern mining is an emerging topic in data mining. It refers to discover all patterns having a high utility meeting a user-specified minimum high utility threshold. It comprises extracting patterns which are highly accessed in mobile web service sequences. Different from the traditional fuzzy approach, high fuzzy utility mining considers not only counts of mob...
متن کاملA Guesstimate on Web Usage Mining Algorithms and Techniques
The World Wide Web (WWW) is becoming one of the most preferred and widespread mediums of learning. Unfortunately, most of the current Web-based learning systems are still delivering the same educational resources in the same way to learners with different profiles. Web usage mining is defined as the application of data mining technologies to online usage patterns as a way to better understand a...

Web usage mining involves application of data mining techniques to discover usage patterns from the web data. Clustering is one of the important functions in web usage mining. The likelihood of bad or incomplete web usage data is higher than the conventional applications. The clusters and associations in web usage mining do not necessarily have crisp boundaries. Researchers have studied the pos...
متن کاملData mining for the analysis of content interaction in web-based learning and training systems
Data mining is based on the detection and extraction of knowledge from a database. Web usage mining is a special form of data mining to address behavior in web sites. Web usage mining shall be proposed as the central, non-intrusive and objective evaluation technique for the analysis of the usage of web-based learning and training systems and in particular of the interaction with educational con...
