Abstract

This paper presents the learning pattern analysis of online learning management system Moodle. The experimental work was carried out in Banaras Hindu University, India on the students of three years post graduate course on Computer Application. The comparative study has done on learning patterns of the students on tradition pedagogy with online pedagogy through the learning management system. The Moodle data analytics tool was used for the purpose of reporting students’ data. The results of students learning performance were compared and analyzed using t-test, content analysis and various other mining and analytics tools.
