Abstract
Web Usage Mining (WUM) focus on the interaction behavior between Web users and requested Web pages in order to identify navigation patterns. This work describes a case study aimed at investigating the potential of WUM as a framework for supporting the validation of learning site designs. The goal was to model the domain in terms of a WUM application, and to explore abstractions and types of patterns that can help site usage evaluation.
