Abstract
After the popularity of Learning Management Systems, Data Mining and Learning Analytics have become emerging topics. Learning Management Systems such as Moodle, provide big amount of data to be used in analyzing students’ online behavior. This paper represents a method for early detection of drop outs from a Bachelor degree course using data mining methods. Data is collected through Moodle logs. For early detection, event logs till the first exam is taken into consideration. Decision Tree (DT) and Bayesian Network (BN) algorithms are used for the prediction. In the end it is shown that DT algorithm gives a higher over-all accuracy but BN is better for discovering fail cases as it has higher specificity.
