Student Performance on an E-Learning Platform: Mixed Method Approach

Abstract

E-learning is considered a leading application of digital technologies in educational systems. The aim of the paper is to explore the utilization and impact of digital technologies on an e-learning platform. For this purpose, research was conducted at the Moodle learning management system. Data from the e-learning platform were empirically evaluated in order to find key indicators of student performance in different courses. Student success with the e-learning system was evaluated using a mixed-method: Social Network Analysis, K-Means Clustering, and Multiple Linear Regression. The research was conducted at the University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Serbia. The results indicate a significant relationship between the performance of students and the use of digital educational resources from the e-learning platform.

Innovation and Use of New Teaching Technologies in Undergraduate Learning and Empowerment for the Labour Market

“…The results obtained in the present study suggest a greater participation of the university in the articulation of its trained professionals with the local companies, serving as a support platform and in this way enabling some monitoring of these graduates at the entrance of the local market, through networks of contacts that bring together companies of recent graduates. The use of information technology-based platforms could facilitate this approach [20], [24].…”

Use Of Social Media Potential By The International Students

“…Studies devoted to the analysis of digital space and social networking are often based on the research of social networking sites, blog statistics, educational platforms and websites (Kesici, 2019;Kross et al, 2013;O'Hara, 2020;Rakic et al, 2020;Shi & Yu;. These approaches to the study of the discussed issue are justified when we want to get a statistical visualization of the use of digital space.…”

“…The cognitive and informational role of network communication concludes that e-learningobtaining information through social networking sites -is currently a key factor in the successful learning of students and schoolchildren (Rakic et al 2020). Students, using electronic networks and electronic educational resources are more successful in their studies, as student's social media unambiguously contribute to a deeper understanding of learning tasks, make it possible to receive informational support from classmates or professors quickly (Rakic et al 2020).…”

Knowledge Management Strategies Through Educational Digital Platforms During Periods of Social Confinement

“…ICTs are a "sine qua non" component of a new paradigm of society: the information, knowledge, and learning society [6,7]. Educational institutions have taken important steps towards digitalization by making a great effort to improve the telecommunications infrastructure and electronic administration [8][9][10]. Nowadays it is almost inconceivable to teach without technology, or without reference to methodologies such as gamification, inverted classrooms or bringing your own device [11][12][13], which can contribute to create new scenarios that facilitate and promote different processes within the classroom, and that connect and help transfer knowledge to the outside world [1,14,15].…”
