Abstract :
Current research explores web analytics tools in the field of electronic learning using agent-based and neural network approaches. A hybrid agent-based model with built-in artificial neural networks is proposed. The model aims to support the computer simulation experiment assessment of knowledge production and knowledge dissemination trends among the agents of three types: authors, tutors and students of on-line courses. In the research we study the effectiveness of using the software to implement this model as an example in one of the higher education institutions.
