Chang, Chih-Kai; Chen, Gwo-Dong; Liu, Baw-Jhiune; Ou, Kou-Liang – 1998
As learners use World Wide Web-based distance learning systems over a period of years, large amounts of learning logs are generated. An instructor needs analysis tools to manage the logs and discover unusual patterns within them to improve instruction. However, logs of a Web server cannot serve as learners' portfolios to satisfy the requirements…
