Abstract

The Learning Management System (LMS) records activity of many users: students, teachers and administration workers. The e-learning system is a virtual place where thousands of dynamical systems (users) communicate each others. These communication leads to changes of users’ activities. The users (human) behaviour is nonlinear (Sulis et al., 1995), therefore we can say that LMS is a virtual platform of interaction of nonlinear dynamical systems (Ignatowska et al., 2005; Ignatowska et al., 2008). In case of LMS system the number of logs of each user is one of the measures of his activity. The dynamics of changes of logs to LMS have been analyzed in the paper using the recurrence plot method. The analyses carried out in the paper have shown that recurrence plots are useful in exploring e-learning system dynamics. The comparison between the results of e-learning courses evaluation made by students and RP analysis allow us to withdraw the following conclusion: the increase of complexity and difficulty of the course causes the increase of RR coefficient.
