While many researchers\r\nfocus on the authoring support, not much has been done to facilitate the\r\nevaluation of e-Learning applications, which requires processing of the vast\r\nquantity of data generated by students. We address this problem by proposing an\r\napproach for detecting potential symptoms of low performance in e-Learning\r\ncourses. It supports two main steps: generating the production rules of C4.5\r\nalgorithm and filtering the most representative rules, which could indicate low\r\nperformance of students. In addition, the approach has been evaluated on the log\r\nfiles of student activity with two versions of a Web-based quiz system.","note":"","tags":""} , {userid:"j.a.diaz-perez", "refid":"206","repocollections":"","attachment":"","_thumb":"","articletype":"article","sectionheading":"","title":"Risk factors for thyroid gland carcinoma","year":"2012","author":"Jairo Paredes, Alvaro Herrera, Julio A.
