“…It can be observed that these are superimposed with classical learning communities, both temporally and spatially. This is surprising because it can be assumed that online communication is less useful than individual face-to-face communication (Köhler 2016). However, this is obviously not applicable, as is shown by the widespread use of WhatsApp or Facebook-supported small groups.…”

“…After years of development, OLPs have accumulated a huge amount of data on student scores. To optimize the teaching strategies, contents, and plans, it is not enough to conduct simple statistical analysis and summary of these data [5][6][7][8][9]. Instead, the massive data on student scores need to be analyzed by big data technology, aiming to cluster the students and extract group features.…”

After years of development, online teaching platforms (OLPs) have accumulated a huge amount of data on student scores. To effectively mine out the useful knowledge and information behind the massive data, this paper puts forward a course score analysis model for OLP learners based on data mining. Firstly, the score features of OLP learners were classified, and the calculation method of computational features was presented. Then, the score features were clustered through expectation maximization (EM) clustering, which has the advantage of unsupervised learning. Moreover, the salient features were obtained through principal component analysis (PCA). Finally, the support vector machine (SVM) prediction algorithm, a supervised learning method, was constructed, and merged with the clustering algorithm to realize accurate classification of the course scores of OLP learners. The effectiveness of the proposed method was proved through experiments. Based on the correlation between learner scores and courses, this research enables teachers to improve current teaching models and methods.

“…As outcome of a doctoral research and development project, the presented test has been discussed by several reviews. The presented publication results from a conference presentation at KICSS 2014 (Köhler and Mabed 2014;Mabed and Köhler 2016), focusing on the test construction and its quality. The recent publication intends to provide access to the test itself in a way that it may be reused easily in regular educational situations.…”

Learning performance links to the future career opportunities, especially, in the vocational education field (Adams 2014). Therefore, it is not surprising that the academic achievement of students is a top concern of educators. Academic achievement is often used to refer to the knowledge obtained by students through a school program or curriculum. According to Algarabel and Dasi (2001), academic achievement is defined as "the competence of a person in relation to a domain of knowledge" (p. 46) or the proficiency of students' performance in a certain course. From the given importance of this topic in an educational context, it is necessary to do the process of exploring, assessing, and evaluating academic achievement by a particular test. AERA, APA, and NCME (AERA et al. 1999) pointed out that academic achievement tests "are measures of academic knowledge and skills that a person acquired in formal and informal learning opportunities" (p. 124). Other definition of academic achievement test can be found in the Dictionary of Education, which defines "a test that measures the extent to which a person has acquired certain information or mastered certain skills, usually as a result of planned instruction or training" (Shukla 2005). Consequently, academic achievement tests tend to measure
