Abstrakt: The paper presents the application of data mining for analyzing performance of students enrolled in an online two-year master degree programme in project management. The main data sources for the mining process are the survey made for gathering students΄ opinions, the operational database with the students΄ records and data regarding students activities recorded by the e-learning platform. More than 180 students have responded and more than 150 distinct characteristics/ variable per student were identified. Due the large number of variables data mining is a recommended approach to analysis data. Clustering, classification and association rules were employed in order to identify the factor explaining students΄ performance. The results are very encouraging and suggest several future developments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
