Methods and systems for representing usage of an electronic learning system
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for representing usage of an electronic learning system, the method comprising:
- receiving an input indicative of a selection of an interaction with a course content provided by the electronic learning system;
receiving representation parameters that define a scope of the usage to be represented, the representation parameters including at least a period of interest;
determining an event count for the interaction during the period of interest, the event count being a number of events stored at one or more storage components of the electronic learning system for the interaction with the course content;
generating a usage indicator that is reflective of a usage amount of the course content during the period of interest, the usage indicator being generated by adjusting the event count with at least one of a count parameter and a weight factor, the count parameter providing at least one limitation to a value of the event count and the weight factor indicating an amount of influence that the interaction has on the usage of the electronic learning system, wherein the usage indicator is generated based at least in part on one or more of an amount of time the course content was viewed, a number of revisions made to the course content, a number of keystrokes input in relation to the course content, a rating input for the course content, a user review for the course content, and a comment for the course content, an author of the course content, and an indication of whether the course content is bookmarked within the electronic learning system;
determining one or more groups of users based at least in part on a respective level of achievement of the user with respect to a course associated with the course content; and
determining a correlation between the interaction and a level of achievement with respect to the course based at least in part on the one or more groups of users; and
providing an indication of the correlation between the interaction and the level of achievement with respect to the course.

Abstract
A method and system for representing usage of an electronic learning system. The method and system involve receiving an input indicative of a selection of a property of the electronic learning system to be represented, the property including a course content provided by the electronic learning system and an activity available for that course content; receiving representation parameters that define a scope of the usage to be represented; determining an event count for the property during the period of interest; and generating a usage indicator for the property based at least on the event count. The usage indicator is generally reflective of at least a usage amount of the property during the period of interest.

4. A computer-implemented method for representing usage of an electronic learning system, the method comprising:
-
receiving an input indicative of a selection of a property of the electronic learning system to be represented, the property including a course content provided by the electronic learning system and an activity available for that course content; receiving representation parameters that define a scope of the usage to be represented, the representation parameters including at least a period of interest; determining an event count for the property during the period of interest, the event count corresponding to a number of events stored at one or more storage components of the electronic learning system in association with the property for the period of interest; generating a usage indicator for the property based at least on the event count, the usage indicator being reflective of at least a usage amount of the property during the period of interest, wherein the usage indicator is generated based at least in part on one or more of an amount of time the course content was viewed, a number of revisions made to the course content, a number of keystrokes input in relation to the course content, a rating input for the course content, a user review for the course content, and a comment for the course content, an author of the course content, and an indication of whether the course content is bookmarked within the electronic learning system; determining one or more groups of users based at least in part on a respective level of achievement of the user with respect to a course associated with the course content; and determining a correlation between the interaction and a level of achievement with respect to the course based at least in part on the one or more groups of users; and providing an indication of the correlation between the interaction and the level of achievement with respect to the course. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An electronic learning system comprising:
-
a processing component configured to operate one or more components of the electronic learning system to represent usage of the electronic learning system; one or more storage components for storing, at least, events associated with the electronic learning system, the one or more storage components being in communication with the processing component; and a representation component operated by the processing component to; receive an input indicative of a selection of a user interaction type with a course content provided by the electronic learning system; receive representation parameters that define a scope of the usage to be represented, the representation parameters including at least a period of interest; determine an event count for the user interaction type during the period of interest, the event count being a number of events stored at the one or more storage components of the electronic learning system for the user interaction type with the course content; generate a usage indicator that is reflective of a usage amount of the course content during the period of interest, the usage indicator being generated by adjusting the event count with at least one of a count parameter and a weight factor, the count parameter providing at least one limitation to a value of the event count and the weight factor indicating an amount of influence that the user interaction type has on the usage of the electronic learning system, wherein the usage indicator is generated based at least in part on one or more of an amount of time the course content was viewed, a number of revisions made to the course content, a number of keystrokes input in relation to the course content, a rating input for the course content, a user review for the course content, and a comment for the course content, an author of the course content, and an indication of whether the course content is bookmarked within the electronic learning system; determine one or more groups of users based at least in part on a respective level of achievement of the user with respect to a course associated with the course content; and determine a correlation between the interaction and a level of achievement with respect to the course based at least in part on the one or more groups of users; and provide an indication of the correlation between the interaction and the level of achievement with respect to the course.
