Innovating System of Real-Time Log Collection and Analysis from Students Learning Visual Programming Language

In recent years, the programming education has become popular in Japan to improve IT skills. In fact, the programming education is spreading to the public education, including the compulsory in elementary schools. However, teachers were unable to provide the smooth support to students due to their unfamiliarity for programming education.Therefore, we tried the development of learning support system for teacher using the real-time collection and analysis of log data during learning process. The system provides the teacher each student status (Activity Level) in real-time to support student. This Activity Level was derived from the total number of log data per unit time for each student. In addition, the teacher quickly notices students to support owing to the graphical color of Activity Level. Besides, it is verified to be able to apply the present system to the evaluation method of learning process, as well.We believe that this system has the possibility of innovating support and evaluation method for teachers of learning process.
