Abstract

In our digital age, Internet becomes one of the most important factors in order to achieve information and knowledge. In educational institutes, Internet also plays important roles for people to promote comprehensive learning and teaching environments. However, there are always two sides of every coin. Overuse of Internet may lead to other problems. Our research objective is to investigate the Web usage behaviors from Web access log files. Data mining and statistical techniques have been employed to analyze for the purpose of descriptive and predictive aspects.
