The learning process matter: A sequence analysis perspective of examining procrastination using learning management system
Using a Learning Management System (LMS) via sequence analysis approach, Tan Teck Kiang and Lakshminarayanan Samavedham identify four types of online learners based on their activity patterns and quantify the association between procrastinating on academic performance. The study was carried out during the Covid-19 period when all students were restricted to studying online.
