mining are two techniques used in descriptive analytics to discover historical data. Data is first
gathered and sorted by data aggregation in order to make the datasets more manageable by
analysts. Data mining describes the next step of the analysis and involves a search of the data to
identify patterns and meaning. Identified patterns are analyzed to discover the specific ways that
learners interacted with the learning content and within the learning environment. Advantages:
