Abstract

This paper describes an approach for analysis of computer-supported learning processes utilizing logfiles of learners' actions. We provide help to researchers and teachers in finding insightful patterns of the learning process in two ways: patterns can be specified explicitly to be searched in logfiles or automatic extraction of patterns complying to configurable parameters can be initiated to find the most typical sequences within the logfile. Both support features have been implemented in a stand-alone tool that accepts generic logfiles usable with a potentially wide variety of different learning systems.
