Analysis of Preview Behavior in E-Book System

Abstract

This paper proposes a method to analyze preview behaviors of students using a learning management system (LMS) and an e-book system. We collected a large number of operation logs from e-books to analyze the process of learning. In addition, we conducted a quiz to test the level of understanding. This study especially focuses on an analysis of the relationship between learning behavior in preview and its effectiveness in the corresponding quiz. We apply a machine learning and classification methodology for behavior analysis. Experimental results report that students who undertake good preview achieve better scores in quizzes.
