Research Issues
• Perceived researcher conflict of interest – scoping out market opportunities
“This survey was annoying--long, unnecessarily vague, complicated and obviously self-serving.”
• Online teachers are tired of being surveyed?• Using data mining to support effectiveness
measures

Pass Rate Predictive Model
• Decision Tree Analysis– Improved grades (from 88% to 92%) when participants’
logged into LMS more than 10 times over six weeks. The average is further improved to 98% when frequency of logins increased to 17 times.

Engagement
• Clustering– More time spent online = more time spent offline.– Previous online teaching experience = more hours spent
both online and offline.
