Intelligent Data Analysis for e-Learning addresses information security within e-Learning based on trustworthiness assessment and prediction. . . Over the past decade, many learning management systems have appeared in the education market. Security in these systems is essential for protecting against unfair and dishonest conduct--most notably cheating--however, e-Learning services are often designed and implemented without considering security requirements. Intelligent Data Analysis for e-Learning provides functional approaches of trustworthiness analysis, modeling, assessment and prediction for stronger security and support in on-line learning. . . Intelligent Data Analysis for e-Learning highlights the security deficiencies found in most online collaborative learning systems. The book explores the trustworthiness methodologies based on collective intelligence than can overcome these deficiencies. It examines trustworthiness analysis that utilizes the large amounts of data-learning activities generate, and as processing this data is costly, the book offers a parallel processing paradigm that can support learning activities in real time. The book discusses data visualization methods for managing e-Learning, providing the tools needed to analyze the data collected. Using a case-based approach, the book concludes with models and methodologies for evaluating and validating the security in e-learning systems.
