Intelligent assessment of distance learning

In spite of the great success of many distance learning programs, how to evaluate the behavior of student performance in an o€-line distance learning course still remains a question. If visiting Web course content is a basic requirement of performance assessment , it is possible to make an automatic tool to help the instructor and the students in terms of Web interaction analysis. This paper proposes a solution to the automation. A newly proposed mechanism, called Student±Problem±Course (SPC) table is discussed. The mechanism is implemented on a Windows-based platform. Instructors and students both bene®t from the system of using the performance evaluation to redesign course material and to review automatically generated tutorials.
