Analysis of e-Learning System Usage Before and After the COVID-19 Pandemic

In this paper we examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the usage of e-learning systems. We applied Formal Concept Analysis method to compare the students’ success on our freshmen year course Fundamentals of electrical engineering with the level of their activity on our e-learning system. This allowed us to visualize how did the COVID-19 pandemic impact the relationship between academic success and e-learning system engagement. Analysis showed that the students’ activity on our e-learning system increased during the pandemic and that this higher activity level is sustained even in the post-pandemic environment. In future work we will also utilize process mining techniques to analyze detailed log data from our in-house e-learning system.
