In current popular LMS, instructors would be able to get a quick view of basic learning data, such as
login date, frequency, pages visited,etc. However, no functions or features are currently available to
help instructors identify learners’ individual or group learning patterns, or to identify successful or lesssuccessful learning behavioral patterns, or to identify the predictive learning behaviors or to help identify
necessary facilitation needs. Therefore, the researchers of this study strongly suggest that LMS
developers should integrate data mining tools to facilitate effective online teaching and learning.
