In the 21st century, with the growing importance of education and the increase use of internet, Learning Management Systems (LMS) or Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) have become a must amongst learners and instructors. One of the main objectives of these platforms is to implement technology with traditional learning methods so as to enhance the effectiveness of learning and teaching particularly...
Educational Data Mining (EDM) is an interdisciplinary ingenuous research area that handles the development of methods to explore data arising in a scholastic fields. Computational approaches used by EDM is to examine scholastic data in order to study educational questions. As a result, it provides intrinsic knowledge of teaching and learning process for effective education planning. This paper conducts...
The feature of the proposed computer assisted test system is to apply data mining technology to computer test analysis and intelligentizing it. It can help teachers analyze how well students understand the knowledge points in assignments and exams. It can also visualize the test points of each questions and error rates. The results obtained by the system can tell teachers which parts of teaching activities...
This paper presents three simple applications to let students work with data generated from their mobile phones. The applications can be used as demonstrations for courses in e.g. data mining, business intelligence, and development of digital and web services. One application is entirely web based, the other two require a technology investment of about 200 USD, but the devices may also be an asset...
This paper introduces the concepts of data mining and focuses on the most important and commonly used method of association rules mining. Then association rule mining is applied to the related teaching activities, and some information and rules are got. Using this information can better predict teaching situation and assess teaching effectiveness.
The use of portable device like pocket PCs and smart phone to support teaching and learning is not a new concept. Although the variety of mobile platforms provide more flexible and extendable learning experience, the various hardware restrictions consequently become the unavoidable challenges and barriers we need to overcome. In this paper we focus on: (1) improving the learning performance by prefetching...
Data mining algorithms have been proved to be useful for the processing of large data sets in order to extract relevant information and knowledge. Such algorithms are also important for analyzing data collected from the users' activity users. One family of such data analysis is that of mining of log files of online applications that register the actions of online users during long periods of time...
Students may download the teaching material of Computer Science from a web based system after logging in a server saving username and the time of each file download. A statistical audit is based on this data. Analysing the data of the second semester made possible to draw conclusions regarding learning habits [1] and the correlation between the time of download and the result of the papers written...
The following topics are dealt with: information systems; software engineering; database; data mining; networking; security; privacy; image processing; information processing; computer networks performance analysis; education and teaching informatics.
In this paper, through by using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method's basic theory analysis in online-teaching platform, analyzing ability of students' self-learning, and establishing the evaluation index system, according to expert criteria derived the value of influence factors. With it calculated every level index's weight by using the square root method, and implements the weight by given...
The teaching appraisal must be done every semester in most of the universities. There are large amounts of data accumulated. In order to find out the relevance between individual background of a teacher and his teaching performance, this thesis introduces an algorithm based on multidimensional Association Rules Mining, which has explored teaching defects when there are the individual differences and...
It is a problem in application-oriented personnel education that students are hard to apply their knowledge learning from classes. Problem-based learning (PBL) is now a widespread method which can help students learn to apply knowledge. But the teaching condition with limited resources is a big obstruction when using PBL in the undergraduate curriculum. Taking into account this problem, a problem-based...
In order to solve practical problems in network teaching data analysis ,the web-based instruction data of mathematical models and model framework was build. In the core process that data scoop out, the main adoption the classification method based on the continuity of data. It firstly gains the class-contained from the sample, and then obtains the standard category through the degree of support, finally...
Teaching evaluation is an effective measure to improve the teaching quality, promote teachers' teaching level, and achieve the scientific and systematic management for faculty. In this paper, we present a model of teaching evaluation in adult higher education based on decision tree, aiming to mine the valuable knowledge from the data of teachers' evaluation and archives in teaching quality evaluation...
In this paper, we attempt to get better insight on how Internet usage behaviors of female students in university can affect on their different academic activities also compare usage patterns of different departments' students with their teachers' patterns. In addition, we attempt to find similarities and dissimilarities of usage patterns of students on various branches and finding relationships between...
Higher education in the new 21st century, require faculty and staff in a college or a university to update the educational thinking, to absorb the advanced educational concepts, and to make full use of modern information technologies for management. This article presented a new situation of science research, teaching, as well as management, through research and practice on creating a data warehouse...
Due to the difference between rural and urban and regional disparity of computer basic education produced at their middle school period, computer application level of the freshmen make a great difference. According to this situation, corresponding skill survey is designed. Data obtained from the survey is analyzed by K-means cluster algorithm. And the students are classified into three types according...
The integration of a Data Warehouse(DW) and a Decision Support System(DSS) can provide teaching managers with sufficient information for decision making without interrupting daily work of an On-Line Transaction Processing(OLTP) system. In this paper, project background and the research necessity are first introduced. Then the concepts of the DW, On-Line Analysis Processing(OLAP), Data Mining(DM),...
To make full use the large amount of history data about teaching management in university to help make teaching management decision, the teaching management decision support system was constructed. On the basis of the analysis of requirements for teaching management decision, the system with fourtier architecture was designed by comprehensive application of theory and technology of data warehouse,...
The assessment of the quality of teaching is in accordance with the purpose and principles of teaching. By use of the evaluation of technical feasibility of the teaching process and the expected results, the value of the judgement can be given to provide some information and make some kind of assessment on the subject which need to be assessed. On the teaching quality of teachers, there are many kinds...
