| dc.description.abstract | Introduction Education is a comprehensive concept that contains methods of learning. A method of learning is a process that includes the procedures used by the teacher to achieve particular targets for the students. Some of the traditional methods of learning include distance learning , discussion, lecturing, teamwork, workable demonstrations, lab, programmed instruction solving problems, discovery, Inquiry and others [1]. Advances in communication and computers technology have altered classic methods for learning. Since 1960’s much potentials and money have been placed in developing computer-based education systems. Currently, there is focus to use the computer and communications technologies in education, recently, distance learning classes can be selfbased learning matters and threaded argumentations transferred over the web to concurrent classes where students and teacher communicate through audio, text, or video. On the other hand, distance learning provides fewer chances to measure the reactions of students so clear in a traditional classroom [1]. The evolution of computer technology has opened up new potentials for training and education. Currently, Computer-based learning techniques provide an environment to create reactive interfaces, due to the improvement of communications and computers technologies, it is potential to handle transport of image, text, and multimedia through internet. The usage of internet it is not limited to the place and time. People can learn any place and at any time as they desire [1]. Distance education is a mode of transferring education and materials to students who do not physically exist in a classic setting such as a schoolroom. The main advantage of Distance learning is that the students and the source of information exist in separated areas by distance and time or both. In other words the students and the source of information are geographically distant [2]. Distance education systems provide students with remotely access to materials whether they are at work or at home. The World Wide Web technology is very appropriate for building distance education systems. Using the web as a virtual classroom is a reasonable way to build up distance learning. The proposed Distance education system software is to be set up on a web server. The students can access the web server from a client (personal computer) linked to the server [2] and [3]. There are many significant data tables for electronic learning use behavior research such learner studying activities, learner’s action log and as learner information as presented in table below that include the needed data for “data mining process”. A set of common web log could assist to expound the phenomenon of electronic learning the behavior of users comprehensively. Add to that, it expounds the electronic learning users’ behavior in various periods of time and various user groups that appropriate for several of data mining approach algorithms | en_US |
