Architecture design of IT education platform based on web mining

With the rapid development of information technology (IT), IT education has also become a life-long education. The web-based network education has been emerging as one of the most promising IT education models. After analyzing the present problems of existing web-based IT education platform (ITEP), this paper briefly discusses the major characteristics of web mining technology, gives the architecture designs of ITEP based on web usage mining(WUM). This architecture could not only meet the need of IT personalized education through providing personalized learning function and resources, but also provides some solutions and means of improvement of ITEP. The experimental result indicates that this architecture design is feasible. The success of the educational web mining work needs future work in order to design a intelligent educational platform.
