Abstract
A method and system for representing usage of an electronic learning system. The method and system involve receiving an input indicative of a selection of a property of the electronic learning system to be represented, the property including a course content provided by the electronic learning system and an activity available for that course content; receiving representation parameters that define a scope of the usage to be represented; determining an event count for the property during the period of interest; and generating a usage indicator for the property based at least on the event count. The usage indicator is generally reflective of at least a usage amount of the property during the period of interest.
Claims19
An electronic learning system comprising:
- a processing component configured to operate one or more components of the electronic learning system to represent usage of the electronic learning system;
- one or more storage components for storing, at least, events associated with the electronic learning system, the one or more storage components being in communication with the processing component;
- and
- a representation component operated by the processing component to:
- receive an input indicative of a selection of a property of the electronic learning system to be represented, the property including a course content provided by the electronic learning system and an activity available for that course content,
- receive representation parameters that define a scope of the usage to be represented, the representation parameters including at least a period of interest,
- determine an event count for the property during the period of interest, the event count corresponding to a number of events stored at the one or more storage components of the electronic learning system in association with the property for the period of interest,
- generate a usage indicator for the property based at least on the event count, the usage indicator being reflective of at least a usage amount of the property during the period of interest,
- determine one or more groups of users based at least in part on a respective level of achievement of the user with respect to a course associated with the course content,
- determine a correlation between the property and a level of achievement with respect to the course based at least in part on the one or more groups of users, and
- provide an indication of the correlation between the property and the level of achievement with respect to the course.
