Learning Analytics: Preliminary Study of Creating Course Predictive Model

Learning analytics is a combination of kinds of data collection tools and analytics,it studies the participation performance and progress academically of students by collecting relevant data,and predicts the course success through the dispositional indicators of every student. The current study is to create a model based on the analysis of the factors which affect the study results of the students most among a large number of factors,and predict the risk a student failing in a course through the model. The counselor could choose the high risk students to provide voluntary intervention according to the predictive results,and ensure more students complete their studies successfully. The current study demonstrates the design method of the predictive model,the statistical validation of the model and the implementation plans of the technique.
