Abstract:
|
Computers and Internet are becoming widely used in educational contexts. Particularly,
the wide availability of Learning Management Systems (LMS) allows to
easily set up virtual communities providing channels and workspaces to facilitate
communication and information sharing. Most of these systems are able to track
students interaction within the workspaces and store it in a database that can be
later analyzed to assess student behavior. In this chapter we review some experiences
using data mining to analyze data obtained from e-learning courses based
upon virtual communities. We illustrate several issues that arise in this task providing
real world examples and applications and discuss the challenges that must
be addressed in order to integrate data mining technologies in LMS. |
