A teaching experiment is carried out in a university-level thermodynamics course
using adaptive and interactive e-learning material, created in the new Moodle
question type Stateful that extends the traditional STACK question type with inner-
loop adaptivity. The system collects data that is used to algorithmically classify the
students to different groups according to their behaviour in solving problems. It is
observed that the classification of this data is consistent with a parametric model
prediction based on the interaction data from Stateful. Moreover, for two principal
student groups out of three, the parametric model explains the final course grade
quite well. The proposed methods and the results obtained can be used in learning
analytics and for allocating specific pedagogical actions to students in different
groups.
