Abstract :
In this paper we define some indicators that are useful to analyze the behavior of an individual within a learning community and hypothesize that there must exist some underlying factors relating to the user that explain the result obtained. We analyze the learner behaviors in the Comtella-D learning community and conclude that the actual data do not contradict our hypothesis.
