Abstract (english)

Big data and analytics are shaping the future of higher education. Their role is significant in creating guidelines for reform activities and in assisting educators, students, and administrators in improving teaching and learning. This paper tackles one aspect of this phenomenon. The aim of this study is to examine whether and to what extent students˙ activity at the Learning Management System (LMS) can be a predictor of academic success. Log file analysis is performed from a blended course in the field of Information Communication Technology (ICT). Results indicated no significant correlation between students` behavior and grade attitudes and participation could be identified. However, differences between male and female students are identified.
