Abstract

The web forum is a key tool in new knowledge building among students in Learning Management Systems. Unfortunately, the huge number of messages makes difficult, for tutors and teachers, to quickly evaluate the progress of their students so, an automated support to the analysis is needed. Our solution relies on simple statistical indices inspired by the work in the text analysis field. The obtained results show, in some cases, good performance with a minimum computational effort.
