In this paper, we present a technique that we have developed to transform sequences of technical events into more abstract actions and semantic activities. The sequences of more abstract units are then used for discovering patterns of students’ interaction with computer models using heuristic miner. Our proposed approach automatically segments sequences of technical events that occurred during ...
