Assessment of Student Behavior in Distance Education (EAD) in the Field of Computing
Abstract
Understanding the characteristics of the user behavior of educational sites is an important question in the search for the improvement of e-learning courses. This type of application demands a considerable amount of resources, therefore checking how these resources are used is crucial to ahead foresee the system workload increase. In this work, a case study of an e-learning site is presented. This application holds about two thousand users of a graduation course in the area of computation spread by 17 different localities in the State of Rio de Janeiro.
