Abstract
The rapid growth of educational data mining (EDM) is an emerging field in the academic world of research and studies focusing on collection, archiving, and analysis of data related to delivery methodology, quality of materials and student learning and assessment. The information analyzed informs the learning institution on how to improve learning experiences and how to run the institutional effectively. The people responsible for making decisions in the learning institution will able to make informed data-driven decisions. This paper explores the value of the Internet of Things (IoT) in capturing and mastering massive data for online courses to assess and identify typical learning scenarios for learners. We hope this would be a useful instrumental tool for the range of approaches in education institutions to help their struggling learners to succeed in the academic field.
期刊介绍:
Mathematics in Computer Science publishes high-quality original research papers on the development of theories and methods for computer and information sciences, the design, implementation, and analysis of algorithms and software tools for mathematical computation and reasoning, and the integration of mathematics and computer science for scientific and engineering applications. Insightful survey articles may be submitted for publication by invitation. As one of its distinct features, the journal publishes mainly special issues on carefully selected topics, reflecting the trends of research and development in the broad area of mathematics in computer science. Submission of proposals for special issues is welcome.
