In this study, within the scope of Learning Analytics; in a determined Learning Management System, the performance of the first semester Science exam of 6491students studying in the 5th,6th, 7thand 8thgrades among different private schools in Turkey and the variables that affect the exam performance are predicted. For the analysis of the study, Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) classification technique, which is one of the decision tree methods, offered the best result among the other classification methods used. According to the results of the research, it was estimated that the most important variables related to students' exam performancewere the completed tests numbers and question numbers.

Aligning learning design and learning analytics through instructor involvement: a MOOC case study Gomez-Sanchez, Eduardo; Er, Erkan; Dimitriadis, Yannis; Bote-Lorenzo, Miguel L.; Asensio-Perez, Juan I.; Alvarez-Alvarez, Susana (2019-08-01) This paper presents the findings of a mixed-methods research that explored the potentials emerging from aligning learning design (LD) and learning analytics (LA) during the design of a predictive analytics solution and from involving the instructors in the design process. The context was a past massive open online course, where the learner data and the instructors were accessible for posterior analysis and additional data collection. Through a close collaboration with the instructors, the details of the pre...
Examining an Online Collaboration Learning Environment with the Dual Eye-Tracking Paradigm: The Case of Virtual Math Teams Uzunosmanoglu, Selin Deniz; Çakır, Murat Perit (2014-06-27) The aim of this study is to investigate the computer supported collaborative problem solving processes using the dual eye-tracking method. 18 university students participated in this study, and 9 pairs tried to solve 10 geometry problems using Virtual Math Team (VMT) online environment. Which situations the participants' eye movements, and eye gazes overlap, and how usability of VMT environment affect the problem solving processes are tried to identify. After experiments with two eye-trackers, a questionnai...
The Challenges of International Computer-Supported Collaboration Swigger, Kathleen; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Brazile, Robert; Harrington, Bryan (2004-10-23) This paper discusses results of a study analyzing how cultural factors affect the performance of distributed collaborative learning teams. Participants in the study included computer science students from the University of North Texas and students from the Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey. The results indicate that a team's cultural attributes are a significant predictor of its performance on programming projects. Cultural attributes most strongly correlated to group performance were those...
Evaluating learning management systems: Hexagonal e-learning assessment model (HELAM) Ozkan, Sevgi; Koseler, Refika; Baykal, Nazife (null; 2008-12-01) A considerable amount of research has been conducted on evaluating success of information systems. However, there has been little research addressing the conceptualization and measurement of elearning systems success within educational organizations. Evaluation of information systems within the growing e-learning sector is currently receiving attention, and this research study proposes a conceptual e-learning assessment model, HELAM (Hexagonal e-Learning Assessment Model). HELAM has been applied to 23 e-lea...
Analyzing the effects of the personality traits on the success of online collaborative groups Kucukozer-Cavdar, Seyma; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba (Elsevier BV; 2016-06-23) The purpose of this study is to analyze how efficient online study groups can be formed among students based on their personality traits. A survey consisting of Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI) was conducted among the undergraduate students in a well-known university. Eighty-two students who did not know each other were assigned to 35 small online groups based on their personality characteristics. The group members were then asked to study collaboratively on a task by communicating via the university's...
