Evaluating learning behavior of Web-Based Training (WBT) using Web log

With the rapid development of the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW), Web-Based Training (WBT) is developing at a phenomenal pace. By collecting data from the relevant Web log, learners' behavior may be evaluated and thus be used to analyze system performance and improve system design. In this paper, we report such an effort-an ongoing project towards evaluating students' learning behaviors by tracking the Web log from a sample WBT environment.
