<p><span style='layout-grid-mode:line'>Usually, instructors/ course coordinators
wish to assess the studentsÕ educational situation or evaluate the problems
have bee presented in the course, after the students used the educational materials.
There are two main modules in LON_CAPA that provide the statistical information
for instructors/ course-coordinators: <i>lonchart.pm </i></span><span style='layout-grid-mode:line'>and
<i>lonstatistics.pm</i></span><span
style='layout-grid-mode:line'>. When an instructorÕs access is authorized, he/she
can find useful reports about the course, regarding maps, problems included
in each map, and the students who tried to solve the problems. When an instructor
selects a course, he/she has two buttons in remote control to obtain the statistical
information: Ò<i>chart</i></span><span style='layout-grid-mode:

The function ExtractStudentData in lonstatitics Perl Module fetches all the
data from a particular student<a name="_Hlt9981185"></a> .db file into a big
hash in local machine. It uses dump function, which communicates via lonc/lond
to get the student data from student repository (data server) and then all versions
of student submissions computed according to every problem. The results are
stored in an array in the memory. Before computing the studentsÕ tries
in a particular problem, the different parts of problem are distinguished by
considering the meta-data, which is provided for every problem. </span></p>

Factor is a number in interval [-1,1]. If this number is close to 1, it shows
that only upper students have solved this problem. If it is close to 0 it shows
that the upper students and the lowers are approximately the same in solving
the problem. If this number is negative, it shows that the lower students have
more successes in solving the problem, and thus this problem is very poor in
discriminating the upper and lower students.</p>

to every concept in 2 times interval.</span></p>
<p>In <b>Fig. 3.2.9</b><span style='font-weight:normal'>, number of studentsÕ
tries tables and the graphical chart are shown in 2 different time intervals.
An instructor would be able to check whether the students have more wrong
answers during the first days of opening the homework set, and how many
students have tried during the first or the second interval. Since the
problems are individualized he/she might be able to see how many students
have tried to solve the problem after communicating with each other and
understanding the concept. In Fig. 3.2. 10 the charts and tables
of studentsÕ tries are shown in 3 time intervals. So if the homework should
be done in one week, an instructor would be able to observe the distribution
of studentsÕ tries every day separately after choosing the 7 time intervals.</span></p>

to the educational resources. We have brought a sample of different

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Feature Extraction</span></p>
<p class=MsoBodyText2>From these two types of student data which are stored
by the LON-CAPA system, the features may be considered for classifying
the students, are as follows: </p>
<p> 1.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span> Total number of correct answers. </p>
<p> 2.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span> Total number of tries for doing homework. </p>
<p> 3.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span> Time at which the student got the problem correct. Usually better
students get the homework completed earlier.</p>
<p> 4.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span> Reading the material before attempting homework vs. attempting
first and then read up on it.</p>
<p> 5.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span> Submitting a lot of attempts in a short amount of time without
looking up material in between, vs. those giving it one try, reading
up, submitting another one, etc.</p>
<p> 6.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span> Getting the problem right on the first try, vs. those with high
number of tries.</p>
<p> 7.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span> Giving up on a problem versus students continuing trying up
to the deadline.</p>
<p> 8.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span> Participating in the communication mechanisms, vs. those working
alone.</p>
<p><br>
It might be interesting to group students with time of the first log
on (beginning of assignment, middle of the week, last minute) and correlate
this with the number of tries or number of solved problems. A student
who gets all correct answers will not necessarily be in the successful
group if they took an average of 5 tries per problem, but it should
be verified from this research. </p>
<p>We hope to find similar patterns of use in the data gathered from LON-CAPA,
and eventually be able to make predictions as to the most-beneficial
course of studies for each learner based on a limited number of variables
for each individual student. Based on the current state of the learner
in a learning sequence, the system could then make suggestions to the
learner as to how to proceed. </p>
