Web Mining Usage and Quality Assurance

摘要

The primary object of the investigation was to discover by methods of web mining the most important parameters of the learning activity during the completion of virtual courses. Instead of the classic form of electronic distant learning, a combination of traditional classroom work and online or offline learning methods was used (blended learning). In analyzing the learning activity, the examination of students' click-series and the subsequent differentiation of student types and clusters were in the focus of attention. While the former shows what objects students visited in succession and how much time they spent processing them, the latter distinguishes between types of learning strategies. The examinations were performed at two levels, as macro-and micro-analyses. The former one concentrated on learning objects whereas the latter one focused on individual web pages and their sequences.
