Improving blended learning effectiveness through the use of learning management system

چکیده
This paper presents experimental analysis of LMS log data from two undergraduate courses that differ in terms of learning activity design. Data were resulting from the User Activity functions on open source learning management system, which report the number of student hits across the LMS tools. The research identifies obstacles encountered when using log data. Results suggest that the plan of learning activities has significant impact upon levels of student interaction with the LMS. Additionally the larger amount of asynchronous learning activities, against synchronous ones, may generate increased student interaction not just with the interactive applications but with the LMS overall. This outcome is mainly related given the correlation between LMS interaction and student results reported in other studies. The research confirms the potential of log data to support inform blended learning and online teaching practice, highlights some of experiments involved and outlines possibilities for future abstract. Keyword: log data, learning management system, grade
