Educational data mining for grouping students in e-learning system

The popularity and the use of e-learning systems increased through last decades. Students produce a lot of data through their interactions with the system, which is often not exploited. Since there is a vast amount of such data, data mining techniques were used as the appropriate solution. In this paper we show practical experience with specific e-learning system and applied data mining technique for the analysis which served as a tool for grouping students with similar characteristics.
