Using Process Mining Techniques to Discover the Collective Behaviour of Educators in a Learning Community Platform

Learning design platforms aim to facilitate teachers with their learning design processes. Existing studies have mostly focused on developing design features for learning design platforms yet the number of studies that investigate the collective behaviour of educators when using such tools is scarce. To this end, this study proposes the use of data analytics techniques, namely, process mining, to analyse the behaviour of teachers as they engage in using an online learning design platform as part of a teacher professional development course. The findings of the study shed light on teachers’ collective behaviour and motivational aspects related to their participation within an online learning design community.
