Predicting Dropout on E-learning Using Machine Learning

Akmal Akmal

Abstract


After the corona virus outbreak (COVID-19) many various institutions changed how they work. From various sectors, which experienced the biggest change was the education sector. The education sector, which in general requires face-to-face interaction between teachers and students in a place, has now changed to online, which does not require that both parties be in a place. This is certainly a very big change and has an impact. In this paper we will discuss e-learning methods for drop-out prediction, based on three techniques of machine learning.
