A web-based Learning Management System (LMS) can have hundreds, or even thousands users, student, teacher, manager and normal user. The increase in the Web traffic of the LMS brings with it the problem of hardware and infrastructure capable to host this traffic, and therefore solutions suitable to developing technology are required. Due to this reason, it is very important for LMS developers and instructors to use web mining tools and/or using services such as Google Analytics ensuring the analysis and evaluation of user behaviors. In this study, the authors aim to analyse the Google Analytics data pertaining to 2011 year of the Enocta Akademik Eteacher, managu LMS (EAEP l user. The increase in the Web traffic of the LMS brings with it the problem of hardware and infrastructure capable to hostof LMS user data may be used while carrying out a detailed analysis of LMS and in the efforts to develop and improve LMS. The increase of student satisfaction and learning success may be ensured through making changes on LMS according to student behaviors.

Understanding the web user browsing behaviour in order to adapt a web site to the needs of a particular user represents a key issue for many commercial companies that do their business over the Internet. This paper presents the implementation of a Knowledge Base (KB) for building web-based computerized recommender systems. The Knowledge Base consists of a Pattern Repository that contains patterns extracted from web logs and web pages, by applying various web mining tools, and a Rule Repository containing rules that describe the use of discovered patterns for building navigation or web site modification recommendations. The paper also focuses on testing the effectiveness of the proposed online and offline recommendations. An ample real-world experiment is carried out on a web site of a bank.

The Web can be defined as a depot of varied range of information present in the form of millions of websites dispersed around us. Often users find it difficult to locate the appropriate information fulfilling their needs with the abundant number of websites in the Web. Hence multiple research work has been conducted in the field of Web Mining so as to present any information matching the user's needs. The application of data mining techniques on web usage, web content or web structure data to find out useful data like users' way in patterns and website utility statistics on a whole can be defined as Web mining. The main cause behind development of such websites was to personalize the substance of a website on user's preference. New methods are developed to deal with a Web site using a link hierarchy and a conceptual link hierarchy respectively on the basis of how users have used the Web site link structure.

Abstract The web-based supported collaborative learning is increasingly used to support student social activities in higher institutions. However, little is known about the factors of collaborative learning in a web-based supported learning environment. Therefore, this study examines the use of a web-based supported collaborative platform to enhance project-based student engagement. This research aims to determine the factors that determine collaborative learning and subsequent student satisfaction. Moreover, this research determines students' cognitive load understanding, social influence, and learner's motivation towards collaborative learning and the resultant impact of the web-based supported collaborative platform on student satisfaction. The data was collected from university post-graduate students who used the TRELLO platform. A total of 115 post-graduate students participated in this study, and the resulting data were analyzed based on partial least squares structural equation modelling statistical approach. The study results suggest that students’ social influence and motivation positively influence collaborative learning; directly and indirectly, students are satisfied with the use of a web-based supported collaborative learning platform to support project-based student engagement.

With the increase in Web-based databases and dynamically- generated Web pages, the concept of the “deep Web” has arisen. The deep Web refers to Web content that, while it may be freely and publicly accessible, is stored, queried, and retrieved through a database and one or more search interfaces, rendering the Web content largely hidden from conventional search and spidering techniques. These methods are adapted to a more static model of the “surface Web”, or series of static, linked Web pages. The amount of deep Web data is truly staggering; a July 2000 study claimed 550 billion documents (Bergman, 2000), while a September 2004 study estimated 450,000 deep Web databases (Chang, He, Li, Patel, & Zhang, 2004). In pursuit of a truly searchable Web, it comes as no surprise that the deep Web is an important and increasingly studied area of research in the field of Web mining. The challenges include issues such as new crawling and Web mining techniques, query translation across multiple target databases, and the integration and discovery of often quite disparate interfaces and database structures (He, Chang, & Han, 2004; He, Zhang, & Chang, 2004; Liddle, Yau, & Embley, 2002; Zhang, He, & Chang, 2004). Similarly, as the Web platform continues to evolve to support applications more complex than the simple transfer of HTML documents over HTTP, there is a strong need for the interoperability of applications and data across a variety of platforms. From the client perspective, there is the need to encapsulate these interactions out of view of the end user (Balke & Wagner, 2004). Web services provide a robust, scalable and increasingly commonplace solution to these needs. As identified in earlier research efforts, due to the inherent nature of the deep Web, dynamic and ad hoc information retrieval becomes a requirement for mining such sources (Chang, He, & Zhang, 2004; Chang, He, Li, Patel, & Zhang, 2004). The platform and program-agnostic nature of Web services, combined with the power and simplicity of HTTP transport, makes Web services an ideal technique for application to the field of deep Web mining. We have identified, and will explore, specific areas in which Web services can offer solutions in the realm of deep Web mining, particularly when serving the need for dynamic, ad-hoc information gathering.

This chapter introduces ethical considerations that are especially relevant for the current networked world. It discusses the use of a mnemonic, MAMA — multicultural, adaptive, multifaceted, and archival — as a way to categorize ethical issues as we discover and discuss them today and in the future. By using these categories, the reader can evaluate how the Internet and, more specifically, the World Wide Web (Web) create new ethical concerns as information technology innovation and users drive new Web-based applications and discoveries. In addition, this chapter will pose key ethical questions that will help stimulate the reader to think about Web ethics. In thinking about these questions the reader will explore and hopefully discover his or her own past learned user behaviors and their potential for adverse ethical consequences to the individual and to society. It is through thinking and discussing the ethical consequences of Web-based applications that society will become aware of our own ethical norms and assess how we would respond before we electronically encounter ethical dilemmas.

The electrical engi neering curriculum at ÉTS includes industrial training which introduces interruption periods in the academic training. In addition, as the program contains a broad range of related courses, theoretical concepts need continuous revision and followups by students. Thus, considerable effort is required from the students and professors to review t hese concepts through various courses. As a solution to this concern, a motivating web-based pedagogical tool has been created. This tool has been used in a linear control course with traditional laboratories and lecturing. The r esults of student satisfaction obtained so far show that this tool is attractive for students and help them in their revision and learning. Moreover, it provides statistics to the professor helping the evaluation of the understanding level of the group through the entire semester. This paper presents the main features, challenges and results of the web-based pedagogical developed tool.
