METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REPRESENTING USAGE OF AN ELECTRONIC LEARNING SYSTEM

摘要

A method and system for representing usage of an electronic learning system. The method and system involve receiving an input indicative of a selection of a property of the electronic learning system to be represented, the property including a course content provided by the electronic learning system and an activity available for that course content; receiving representation parameters that define a scope of the usage to be represented; determining an event count for the property during the period of interest; and generating a usage indicator for the property based at least on the event count. The usage indicator is generally reflective of at least a usage amount of the property during the period of interest.

1. A computer-implemented method for representing usage of an electronic learning system, the method comprising:
receiving an input indicative of a selection of an interaction with a course content provided by the electronic learning system; receiving representation parameters that define a scope of the usage to be represented, the representation parameters including at least a period of interest; determining an event count for the interaction during the period of interest, the event count being a number of events stored at one or more storage components of the electronic learning system for the interaction with the course content; and generating a usage indicator that is reflective of a usage amount of the course content during the period of interest, the usage indicator being generated by adjusting the event count with at least one of a count parameter and a weight factor, the count parameter providing at least one limitation to a value of the event count and the weight factor indicating an amount of influence that the interaction has on the usage of the electronic learning system.
