Abstract
It is feasible to mine learners’ learning activities for the provision of personalized learning services. Learning activity is not only the mediator for the exploration of learning processes but also the source for the recognition of learners’ personalized learning needs. It is necessary to establish a reasonable analysis system for the inquiry of activity contexts involved in e-leaning. This paper proposes an analysis framework of activity context in e-learning environments, including the theoretical foundation, the connotation, the modeling strategies, and content analysis techniques of activity context.
