Learners’ Activity Indicators Prediction in e-Learning using Fuzzy Logic

With the idea of introducing computer supports in education, Online Learning (named also e-learning) associated on one hand, the concept of network, therefore that of distance and concepts of communicating interaction, whether between the learner and the teacher (or tutor), or between the learners themselves and on the other hand exchanges and collaboration. Any activity in e-learning leaves recorded traces stored in a database system. Until now, data on student activity is stored as low-level information; however, the volume of this information is too large to be processed and interpreted by tutors, requiring data collection and preparation to give it meaning. In addition, according to the studies carried out in this direction, the tracking of learners must be guaranteed in all stages of e-learning process, to assist and help them when they encounter problems that they cannot solve. The lack of direct contact between the tutor and the learners can cause a lack of feedback of the learning activity; all these problems can lead to a high rate of abundance in e-learning. Our work aims to develop a model for predicting learner activity indicators using fuzzy logic without going through rigid calculations but based on consultation traces and skill assessment scores. Based on the traces collected from the Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle, it could give the tutor high level processing of the learning activity.
