ABSTRACT
In this paper we describe a practical framework for studying then a navigational behavior of the users of an e-learning environment integrated in a virtual campus. The students navigate through the web based virtual campus interacting with learning resources which are structured following the SCORM e-learning standard. Our main goal is to design a usage mining tool for analyzing such user navigational behavior and for extracting relevant information that can be used to validate several aspects related to virtual campus design and usability but also to determine the optimal scheduling for each course depending on user profile. We intend to extend these quencing capabilities of the SCORM standard to include the concept of recommended itinerary, by combining teachers expertise with learned experience acquired by system usage analysis.

A case study on the SCORM-based e-learning in computer-aided drafting course with users' satisfaction survey
In this paper, we propose a case study to compare the learning difference on a Computer added Drafting (CAD) course between traditional learning and e-learning. The learning materials for the e-learning were designed in Shareable Contents Object ...
Incorporating customization and personalization into game-based learning
In recent years, customization and personalization were widely applied to accommodate the needs of different cognitive style groups. Such two approaches have different advantages and disadvantages but there is a lack of studies to compare these two ...
