Mubarak, Ahmed Ali; Ahmed, Salah A. M.; Cao, Han – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
In this study, we propose a MOOC Analytic Statistical Visual model (MOOC-ASV) to explore students' engagement in MOOC courses and predict their performance on the basis of their behaviors logged as big data in MOOC platforms. The model has multifunctions, which performs on visually analyzing learners' data by state-of-the-art techniques. The model…

Aguilar, J.; Buendia, O.; Pinto, A.; Gutiérrez, J. – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
Social Learning Analytics (SLA) seeks to obtain hidden information in large amounts of data, usually of an educational nature. SLA focuses mainly on the analysis of social networks (Social Network Analysis, SNA) and the Web, to discover patterns of interaction and behavior of educational social actors. This paper incorporates the SLA in a smart…
