We are pulling out much more detailed data for LIDP2, including the time of day a resource was accessed. Some initial graphs are now available here, however, please note that this is just raw data and need to be cleaned up.
There do seem to be some interesting trends. For example the graph below implies that not only do students who achieve a 1st class degree use more e-resources, but they also use more during ‘office hours’, students who receive a lower degree are the highest uses overnight – this appears to tally with other research that shows that students who log in to a universities VLE are more at risk of dropping out.
The next graph appears to show that students who obtained a first use e-resources most between 2am and 7am – perhaps chasing deadlines? Students who get a 1st peak btween 10am and 11am.
Please note that we haven’t cleaned this data up yet, e.g. we haver not excluded overseas users.
