A Real-Time Analysis Method of Students' Behavior for a Supporting System of a Distance Lecture

Distance Education Course (DEC) has been becoming more and more popular in many universities with the fast development of the Internet technology. The communication between the teacher and the students in DEC environment, however, is a more difficult problem than that of conventional courses. This paper proposes a real-time evaluation method to enhance the communications between the teacher and students. This method analyzes the distribution of the reference of students and informs the teacher the learning state immediately. Experimental results have illustrated the feasibility of this method.
