Modeling these behaviors may be helpful for different stockholders in formulating academic policies and guidelines. EDMINER (Educational Data Miner) is a Web based educational data mining which provides functionalities to understand usage patterns with respect to the category of visited Websites, and various usage statistics and detecting outliers between users based on their academic performance and Internet usage behaviors.
