Educational Data Mining

Educational data mining (EDM) is the field that develops and applies data-mining and machine-learning methods to data generated by educational settings — clickstreams from online courses, intelligent tutoring system logs, assessment records, and student information systems. Its goal is to discover patterns that explain and predict learning: who is at risk of failing, how students work through material, which content sequences help, and what hidden skill structures underlie performance. EDM treats fine-grained learner data as a source of actionable scientific and practical insight.
