This paper presents research on data mining and visualization methods that analyze, in real time, learners’ clicks on educational materials during both large face-to-face classes and online distance learning classes with large participants. The purpose of this paper is to research how learning logs collected using online materials on the Moodle LMS can be used to enhance lesson delivery and analyze learning patterns. To achieve this, we developed a real-time visualization method that identifies inappropriate learning behaviors by conducting time-series analysis of learning logs, classifying participant material clicks, and simultaneously detecting outliers. We confirmed that the proposed method can be used in regular classroom settings and provided concrete examples demonstrating its potential to support teachers’ decision-making.

摘要

This paper presents research on data mining and visualization methods that analyze, in real time, learners’ clicks on educational materials during both large face-to-face classes and online distance learning classes with large participants. The purpose of this paper is to research how learning logs collected using online materials on the Moodle LMS can be used to enhance lesson delivery and analyze learning patterns. To achieve this, we developed a real-time visualization method that identifies inappropriate learning behaviors by conducting time-series analysis of learning logs, classifying participant material clicks, and simultaneously detecting outliers. We confirmed that the proposed method can be used in regular classroom settings and provided concrete examples demonstrating its potential to support teachers’ decision-making.
