This paper analyses a dataset from the Mohammed V University of Rabat's MOOC platform to understand factors influencing the performance of learners. Preprocessing and analysis of a dataset of 29,994 learners revealed that factors like age, gender, quiz scores, and homework assignments are positively correlated with learner achievement. The study employed various machine learning algorithms such as k-Nearest Neighbors, Random Forest, Catboost, and Logistic Regression. The Catboost algorithm demonstrated superior performance in predicting learner success, achieving an accuracy of 86.1%. The model based on Catboost can potentially guides the identification of targeted interventions and improves the overall quality of online learning experiences.

摘要

This paper analyses a dataset from the Mohammed V University of Rabat's MOOC platform to understand factors influencing the performance of learners. Preprocessing and analysis of a dataset of 29,994 learners revealed that factors like age, gender, quiz scores, and homework assignments are positively correlated with learner achievement. The study employed various machine learning algorithms such as k-Nearest Neighbors, Random Forest, Catboost, and Logistic Regression. The Catboost algorithm demonstrated superior performance in predicting learner success, achieving an accuracy of 86.1%. The model based on Catboost can potentially guides the identification of targeted interventions and improves the overall quality of online learning experiences.
