How do we usually evaluate learning processes?
• Assessments• Tests• Interviews• Observations• Implementation
Follow-up• ROI measurement
What are the limitations of such
assessment tools?
• Subjective
• Indirect
• Sample groups
• Reflective
What IS Data Mining? Data Mining, also known as Knowledge-Discovery in Databases (KDD), is the process of automatically searching large volumes of data for patterns. In order to achieve this, data mining uses computational techniques from statistics, machine learning and pattern recognition
Data mining in process…
What can E-learning Data mining do?
Every click is counted and monitored• Learning patterns and styles• A new dimension of research
In other words: SOLID FACTS
