Analyzing Fine-Grained Material Usage Behavior

Most prior work in log data analysis within introductory programming courses has focused on log data gathered from programming environments. While such data can provide insights into the programming process of students, it misses other parts of the learning process, such as students’ use of e-textbooks or other online learning materials. In this work, we present preliminary results from an analysis of learning material use at a fine grain. We discuss the possibilities that such data provides for studying the learning process of students in introductory programming courses.
