A Learning Efficiency Evaluation Model for E-Learning Platforms Based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)

Abstract

With the rapid development of education informatization, the number of students taking E-learning courses is growing gradually. The evaluation for students' E-learning efficiency and ability is a significant direction of education informatization. Based on the data of students' E-learning behaviors generated on the platform, this paper establishes a comprehensive evaluation indicator of E-learning efficiency by integrating 4-aspect E-learning behaviors. Upon this requirement, a comprehensive learning efficiency evaluation model based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) methods is proposed. An AHP method is used to determine the weight value of E-learning behavior indicator to learning efficiency evaluation objective, and then to establish a hierarchical learning efficiency evaluation model. Moreover, a FCE method is used to calculate the learners' comprehensive learning efficiency from different evaluation perspectives. Through cases of comprehensive learning efficiency calculation, the general steps of learning efficiency evaluation are explained, thus verifying the feasibility and effectiveness of the method in student learning efficiency evaluation.
