Using Educational Data Mining to Identify and Analyze Student Learning Strategies in an Online Flipped Classroom

Analyzing the learning analytics from a course provides insights that can impact instructional design decisions. This study used educational data mining techniques, specifically a longitudinal k-means cluster analysis, to identify the strategies students used when completing the online portion of an...
