Validation of the online learning efficacy through course evaluation

Paper discusses applications of different methods that measure LMS usage for identifying possible indicators of effective learning. Used methods of exploring the LMS usage involved students’ questionnaire and data mining of the system logs. Research was conducted on the Faculty of Teacher Education in Osijek involving first year students during two semesters and using LMS systems in two following courses. Methods gave answer to the question of existing links between the number of students’ LMS activities and their final grades of the observed courses. Furthermore we investigated the connectivity between the number of students' LMS activities and their attitudes towards LMS usage of the courses. The value of data comparison of LMS usage between two different courses within the single group of students has been analyzed. Special importance gave data obtained before and after LMS usage adoption which contribute to validating efficacy of the online learning.
