Abstract

Online course is common in the education scene. Students use online course for a variety of reasons. However, their usage, as recapped in log, is worthy of further investigation. This article proposes an XML web log data model to represent web server log files in online courses. The implementation of the XML web log data model and how it is used to reflect student usage are discussed. Using XML and its related technologies such as XSLT to represent and process log data is a flexible and extensible method to visualize and compare student usage. Student would be able to recap and compare his/her usage with others and improve in using the online courses.
