Abstract

Students’ Engagement and Performance (EP) of online courses are analyzed and visualized in order to assist instructors in improving student’s performance at an early stage before the end of the academic semester. A fully online course for undergraduate students in the Department of Information Studies, College of Education, Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), was conducted. The total number of students in the course was 38. Students studied each course module and the instructor evaluated them based on a set of assessments. This paper explores the existence of possible relationships between student’s engagement and performance. In this paper, the authors only considered the results of the Mid Term Exam part. They extracted the necessary data for analysis purposes for the above-mentioned factors from the log file of the course. The results revealed promising relationships between the student’s engagement and performance. This indicates the importance of conducting this kind of case study as a step forward to achieve a smart learning environment.
