Abstract
Learning analytics offers insights into student behaviour and the potential to detect
poor performers before they fail exams. If the activity is primarily online (for example computer
programming), a wealth of low-level data can be made available that allows unprecedented
accuracy in predicting which students will pass or fail. In this paper, we present a classification
system for early detection of poor performers based on student effort data, such as the
complexity of the programs they write, and show how it can be improved by the use of low-level
keystroke analytics.
