A Web Mining Approach for Personalized E- Learning System

Abstract—The Web Mining plays a very important role for the E-learning systems. In personalized E-Learning system, user customize the learning environment based on personal choices. In a general search process,a hyperlink which is having maximum number of hits will get displayed first. For making a personalized system history of every user need to be saved in the form of user logs. In this paper we present a architecture with the use of Web mining for Web personalization. The proposed system provides a new approach with combination of web usage mining, HITS algorithm and web content mining. It combines hits results on user logs and web page contents with a clustering algorithm called as Lingo clustering algorithm. This proposed system with combined approach gives a better performance than a usage based system. Further the results are computed according to matrices computed from previous and proposed method.
