since entering higher education, the implications of
this research can be beneficial to other teachers,
potentially yielding long-term positive effects for
students across the study programme.
To further support educators in applying these
findings, we recommend the integration of automated
alerts within the LMS platforms to identify and notify
students at risk based on engagement metrics.
Future research could explore student
perspectives by incorporating surveys,
complementing the log data with qualitative insights
into student experiences and engagement. Analysing
students’ perceptions of course components,
perceived workload, and their reasons for
engagement patterns could provide insights to refine
predictive models and develop more effective
teaching interventions.
