Project Clio: Tools for tracking student use of course webs

Abstract

In this paper, we present Project Clio , a Web logging system that permits instructors,instructional designers, Web designers, and course web architects to better garner informationthat helps them understand how students use course webs, and therefore how to improve coursewebs. In particular, the system allows one to determine the path(s) individual users followthrough a site, the time they spend on each page, and their simultaneous use of multiple pages.While there are now a number of systems for logging Web use, ours is able to provide moretargeted and more individualized information than typical systems.
