APPROACHES TO THE APPROXIMATE TABULATION OF THE DURATION OF STUDENT VISITS WHEN WORKING WITH DIGITIZED COURSE MATERIALS WITHIN THE CLASS

In order to use course materials within a class or preparation and review for students, we created digital materials that correspond to a class on introductory statistics in PDF format on the Moodle learning management system. To obtain useful data for class improvement, we collected such information regarding the use of the materials in the weekly class as date and time, student ID number, viewing time, and page view history. To boost students’ motivation for viewing course materials, we administered quizzes, and we have attempted to tabulate approximately the duration of course materials visits. As a result, we found a correlation between the average point of visit duration course materials usage and the average score of quizzes and obtained suggestions for future lesson improvement.
