E-Learning: A Milestone in the Research of Data Mining

Abstract

Data Mining and Data Warehousing are two most important techniques for pattern discovery and centralized data management in today’s technology. ELearning is one of the most significant applications of data mining. The main objective is to provide a proposal for a functional model and service architecture. The standards and system architecture are analyzed here. This paper gives importance to the integration of Web Services on the e-Learning application domain, because Web Service is the most advanced choice for distance education now. The process of e-Learning can be possible more effectively with the help of Web usage mining. More advanced tools are developed for online customer’s behaviour to increase sales, and profit, but no such tools are developed to understand learner’s behaviour in e-Learning. In this paper, some data mining techniques are discussed that could be used to enhance web-based learning environments.
