Abstract

data mining is a very popular and effective way of discovering new knowledge from large and complex data sets. Its benefits are its ability to gain deeper understanding of the patterns previously unseen using current available reporting capabilities. Internet education arose from traditional education in order to cover the necessities of remote students and/or help the teaching-learning process, reinforcing or replacing traditional education. In our context we call this internet education as E-learning. In E-learning large amounts of information describing the scale of teaching and learning interactions are generated endlessly and are universally available. By applying data mining techniques in E-learning, it would be of great use in enriching the management with precious information and knowledge that would escort to efficient decision-making. data mining can be used to extract knowledge from E-learning systems through the analysis of the information available in the form of data generated by their users.
