Evaluation of learning in computer based education using log systems

Evaluation is difficult but important part of learning to both teachers and students. This paper discusses the idea of using log systems to collect information in computer based education (CBE). The log information can be analyzed and used together or even instead of traditional evaluation measures. Furthermore, in terms of self-study CBE material, logging can be beneficially applied to interactively control learning. As a special case of interest, methods for using WWW log system in learning evaluation as well as advanced structures for interactive WWW-based education are discussed.
