An evaluation technique for content interaction in Web-based teaching and learning environments

Interactivity is a central element in teaching and learning. The Web as a new educational platform enables new forms of teaching and learning. The consequence for the Web - a constantly evolving environment that provides less direct feedback - is the importance of evaluation. In particular the learners´ interaction with the Web-based multimedia features is central. We propose Web usage mining, a technology that has already been used to analyse e-commerce Web sites, in conjunction with an analytic model as the evaluation approach.
