Extracting student patterns from log file Moodle course: A case study

Abstract

<span lang="EN-US">This paper introduces a set of extracted factors from Moodle log file of the selected course as a case study that aims to capture student Engagement (E), Behavior (B), Personality (Pers) and Performance (P). The factors are applied to identify students’ EBPersP with different course activities. The data set used in this paper was selected from the "Introduction to Computer Science" online course that captures 273,906 records as a log file for 29 students, delivered in Spring 2020. The paper also tries to show whether there is a relationship between student engagement, behavior and personality and their performance. Results show different patterns of students’ interactions with course contents, activities, and assessments. Specifically, our findings highlight that students' EBPersP could be extracted from Moodle log files. In addition, the extracted factors could assist instructors on how to focus more on students with low and average performance, giving them more attention to enhancing their performance. </span>

The roots of modern cryptography: Leon Battista Alberti's "De Cifris"

“…801 -Baghdad, Iraq, ca. 873] (Figure 2) who proved how code breaking for simple monoalphabetic substitution was relatively easy if the language of the original message is known, and a statistical analysis is applied to the ciphered message and checked against the letter frequencies in such a language [6].…”

“…The relevance of the text was underestimated up to the XXth century. While it was known for the fi rst description of the cipher disk, it also contains a refi ned analysis of the language, aimed both at deciphering -as it was in the Al-Kindi treatise [6] -and at improving ciphering, by providing important new contributions [12].…”

Guided inquiry with Moodle to improve students’ science process skills and conceptual understanding

“…Besides, Moodle is equipped with several practical features, such as the features of learning material, assignments, quizzes, discussion, and others [31], [35], that support hybrid learning [34], [36]. Moodle can cover the limitations of offline learning, which is limited by space and time because students and lecturers can interact anytime and from anywhere [27], [31], [37].…”
