description The use of e-learning in higher education institutions is a necessity in the learning process. E-learning accumulates vast amount of usage data which could produce a new knowledge and useful for educators. The demand to gain knowledge from e-learning usage data requires a correct mechanism to extract exact information. Current models for mining e-learning usage have focused on the activities usage but ignored the actions usage. In addition, the models lack the ability to incorporate learning pedagogy, leading to a semantic gap to annotate mining data towards education domain. The other issue raised is the absence of usage recommendation that refers to result of data mining task. This research proposes a semantic model for mining e-learning usage with ontology and meaningful learning characteristics. The model starts by preparing data including activity and action hits.
