Adaptive online learning environment and web usage mining

The realization of an adaptive online learning environment presupposes the full consideration of the existing knowledge of the individual and their learning characteristics both in the area of course as well as learning management. Therefore during the learning process diagnostic and formative control, evaluation and assessment, with web usage mining as an efficient means, has a special significance. Educational technology and multimedia, a course in technical teacher training, formed the basis of the study. By the application of web mining methods we were trying to find an answer to the question whether any conclusions from the patterns of online learning activities were to be drawn as to preferred learning characteristics, methods and strategies and also whether the major variables of online learning behavior were possible to define.
