Activity Based Students’ Performance Measure Using Moodle Log Files

Abstract

Blended learning, a thoughtful integration of face-to-face and online learning aims at: improving students‟ learning outcome and providing personalized learning experience through eLearning technologies, such as Moodle. To ascertain the benefits of blended learning, a study is performed on 150 students of the blended course offered at RGUKT Nuzvid through the Moodle Platform. The activity log files generated by the Moodle are collected at the end of the course. A set of the metrics are derived from the log files and actual grade of the corresponding students are obtained from final exam result. The metrics obtained from the log files are mapped to the final grade using a classification technique (Decision Tree Classification) and the hidden rules are generated to show the relation between the metrics and the final Grade. The results show the significance of the model.
