Asquare: a powerful evaluation tool for adaptive hypermedia course system

Published:19 June 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

Currently many methods and tools are being developed to support e-Learning courses. On the one hand, they are used to help students. On the other, a few applications are being developed to help course designers and instructors. In addition, the development of this applications is important for improving the performance of the course. Thus, we proposed in this paper to use data mining methods to aid in the designing of adaptive courses and the evaluation of their effectiveness. Lastly, the results of the implementation of our tool and examples of the utility of Data Mining for teachers is given.
