Abstract

We present data-driven log file analyses of an electronic text book for history called the mBook to support teachers in preparing lessons for their students. We represent user sessions as contextualised Markov processes of user sessions and propose a probabilistic clustering using expectation maximisation to detect groups of similar (i) sessions and (ii) users. We compare our approach to a standard K-means clustering and report on findings that may have a direct impact on preparing and revising lessons.
