Effective analysis and demonstration of these data features is of great significance for the optimization of interactive learning environment and learning behavior. Therefore, we take the big data set of learning behavior generated by an online interactive learning environment as the research object, define the features of learning behavior, and…

The research of multi-category learning behaviors is a hot issue in interactive learning environment, and there are many challenges in data statistics and relationship modeling. We select the massive learning behaviors data of multiple periods and courses and study the decision application of regression analysis. First, based on the definition of…

Since the advent of massive open online courses (MOOC), it has been the focus of educators and learners around the world, however the high dropout rate of MOOC has had a serious negative impact on its popularity and promotion. How to effectively predict students' dropout status in MOOC for early intervention has become a hot topic in MOOC…

Online learning has become more popular in higher education since it adds convenience and flexibility to students' schedule. But, it has faced difficulties in the retention of the continuity of students and ensure continual growth in course. Dropout is a concerning factor in online course continuity. Therefore, it has sparked great interest among…

This paper demonstrated how to apply Machine Learning (ML) techniques to analyze student interaction data collected in an online mathematics game. Using a data-driven approach, we examined 1) how different ML algorithms influenced the precision of middle-school students' (N = 359) performance (i.e. posttest math knowledge scores) prediction and 2)…

Learning analytics research has used both knowledge engineering and machine learning methods to model student behaviors within the context of digital learning environments. In this paper, we compare these two approaches, as well as a hybrid approach combining the two types of methods. We illustrate the strengths of each approach in the context of…

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…

This paper presents the findings of a mixed-methods research that explored the potentials emerging from aligning learning design (LD) and learning analytics (LA) during the design of a predictive analytics solution and from involving the instructors in the design process. The context was a past massive open online course, where the learner data…
