Using Advanced Learning Technologies with University Students: An Analysis with Machine Learning Techniques

The use of advanced learning technologies (ALT) techniques in learning management systems (LMS) allows teachers to enhance self-regulated learning and to carry out the personalized monitoring of their students throughout the teaching–learning process. However, the application of educational data min...
