        引用正文描述：Akram et al. also presented a case study based on the SCHOLAT learning system to try get insights into learners’ behaviours [22]. Analysis showed that students were mostly interested in activities that they thought would improve their grade like submitting their assignments on time. However, other activities like asking questions on the discussion forum were not as important and influential as some students never asked any questions there. The analysis is said to be the basis for more complicated analysis to determine how to get students more involved and encourage them to be more active on the SCHOLAT system.
