Zusammenfassung
Modeling online behavior is a common tool for studying social “ecolo-
gies” in digital environments. For this purpose, most of the existing
models are used for analysis and prediction.More prediction tools are
needed for providing evidence especially for exploring online social
behavior to depict the right target group within the right contexts. As
a prominent use case In higher education research, the quality of le-
arning processes shall be ensured by providing suitable instruments
like mentoring for the pedagogical and social support of students.
But how can we identify mentoring needs in digital learning environ-
ments? And to what extent can predictive models contribute to the
quality assurance of learners’ progress?
