Constructing Decision Tree Using Learners¡¦ Portfolio for Supporting e-Learning

In recent years, with the development of electronic media, e-learning has begun to replace traditional teaching and learning with Internet service. With the availability of newly developed technology, opportunities have risen for the teacher of e-learning to using students¡¦ learning logs that recorded via Web site to understanding the learning state of students. This research will address an analytical mechanism that integrated multidimensional logs to let teachers observe students all learning behaviors and learning status immediately, and used decision tree analysis to detect when and what students may have a learning bottleneck. Finally, teachers can use those results to give the right student with the right remedial instruction at the right time.
Summary, we have four conclusions: (1) the decision rules are different from course to course, for example instruction method and assessment method, assignment is a basis to assess student¡¦s learning effectiveness, as well those attributes cooperate with learning effectiveness are related to student¡¦s learning behaviors. (2) To accumulate those learning behavior attributes with the time point actually detect learners probably learning effectiveness early. The variation of effectiveness with different time interval is not clearly, but all time intervals can detect learning effectiveness early. (3) To detect students¡¦ learning effectiveness with different grade level classifications, every grade level classifications can describe decision rules very well, but not to detect all students¡¦ learning effectiveness. (4) Although to detect high-grade students¡¦ learning effectiveness are very difficult, but we can detect lower-grade students¡¦ learning effectiveness. Finally, this research can really observe student¡¦s leaning states immediately, and early detect students¡¦ learning effectiveness. Therefore, teachers can make decisions to manage learning activities to promote learning effect.
