Learning Management Systems provide teachers with many functionalities to offer materials to students, interact with them and manage their courses. Recognizing teachers’ instructing styles from their course designs would allow recommendations and best practices to be made. We propose a method that determines teaching style in an unsupervised way from the course structure and use patterns. We define a course classification approach based on deep learning and clustering. We first use an autoencoder to reduce the dimensionality of the input data, while extracting the most important characteristics; thus, we obtain a latent representation of the courses. We then apply clustering techniques to the latent data to group courses based on their use patterns. The results show that this technique improves the clustering performance while avoiding the manual data pre-processing work. Furthermore, the obtained model defines seven course typologies that are clearly related to different use patterns of Learning Management Systems.

Henning, Peter A; Forstner, Alexandra; Heberle, Florian; Swertz, Christian; Schmölz, Alexander; Barberi, Alessandro; Verdú, Elena; Regueras, Luisa M.; Verdú, María J; de Castro, Juan-Pablo; Burgos, Daniel; De la Fuente-Valentin, Luis; Gal, Eran; Parodi, Elisabetta; Schwertel, Uta; Steudter, Sven (Lecture Notes in Informatics, 2014)When learners may select among different alternatives, or are guided to do so by an adaptive learning environment (ALE), it is generally meaningful to discuss the concept of different learning pathways. Pedagogically, these ... -
Clustering analysis for automatic certification of LMS strategies in a university virtual campus
Regueras, Luisa M; Verdú, María J; Castro, Juan P de; Verdú, Elena (IEEE Access, 2019)In recent years, the use of Learning Management Systems (LMS) has grown considerably. This has had a strong effect on the learning process, particularly in higher education. Most universities incorporate LMS as a complement ... -
