Abstract :
World Wide Web is today the most important media for collecting, sharing and distributing information. Education is one of the fields where web-based technology has been quickly and successfully adopted. Web mining is active research area which involves transformation and interpretation of web data to find out the hidden information by using various data mining techniques which will be useful in enhancing E learning environment. Web usage mining for e learning environment can mine the server logs to find the user usage pattern so that users can be provided with more personalized services. WUM is one of the latest techniques in web data mining which can provide an effective platform to the learner. We focus on identifying learning pattern of learners. This paper introduces how by using WUM techniques we can make e learning environment more effective. Based on WUM technique how we can design an effective e learning environment and implementation of the model builds more intelligent system and can promote interest of learners or learning environment is modifying its behavior to reflect learning style.
