Visual Analytics of Student Learning Behaviors on K-12 Mathematics E-learning Platforms

With increasing popularity in online learning, a surge of E-learning platforms have emerged to facilitate education opportunities for k-12 (from kindergarten to 12th grade) students and with this, a wealth of information on their learning logs are getting recorded. However, it remains unclear how to make use of these detailed learning behavior data to improve the design of learning materials and gain deeper insight into students thinking and learning styles. In this work, we propose a visual analytics system to analyze student learning behaviors on a K-12 mathematics E-learning platform. It supports both correlation analysis between different attributes and a detailed visualization of user mouse-movement logs. Our case studies on a real dataset show that our system can better guide the design of learning resources (e.g., math questions) and facilitate quick interpretation of students problem-solving and learning styles.
