A new model of students participation measurement in e-learning systems based on meaningful learning characteristics: An initial investigation

E-learning systems have been used widely in an education system. A lot of research works have been carried out to improve their features functionalities, such as student´s behavior observation, e-learning platform enhancement, and other related factors. This paper presents an initial investigation of a new model to measure student´s participation during their activities inside an e-learning system. The measurement of student´s participation is piloted by calculating the semantic score of relationships that may exist between e-learning activities and meaningful learning characteristics. The proposed model is expected to provide some benefits on measuring the level of student´s engagement with meaningful learning characteristics in order to produce better e-learning systems.
