The paper employs a comparative epistemological approach to explore two behavioural educational platforms: RedCritter Teacher and Panorama Education. We unpack…

Educational data mining focuses on exploring increasingly large-scale data from educational settings, such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), and developing computational methods to understand students' behaviors and learning settings better. There has been a multitude of research dedicated to studying the student learning process, leading to…

With the adoption of Learning Management Systems (LMSs) in educational institutions, a lot of data has become available describing students' online behavior. Many researchers have used these data to predict student performance. This has led to a rather diverse set of findings, possibly related to the diversity in courses and predictor variables…

Describes a development in computer technology called database management, presented in a model for student development. Although the type and amount of information for the database is flexible, suggests it provides an opportunity to apply existing educational principles on a wider basis to more students. (Author)

The use of an integrated student information system (ISIS) to conduct institutional research at Trinity University is discussed.
