Learning analytics offers an important data analytics method to understand students’ habits of using online learning platforms and tools effectively. This approach reveals results such as how often students visit online platforms, what content they are interested in, and the time they spend in their learning process. The results of learning analytics provide students with information about their learning performance, and educators and administrators with valuable insights into student progress. Today’s digital learning platforms are powered by artificial intelligence technologies and therefore learning environments are becoming smarter. Intelligent learning environments have the potential to provide students with individualized learning opportunities. However, students’ learning preferences in this context still remain unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the learning preferences and behaviors of students enrolled in a Smart MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) environment using a learning analytics-based approach. The research was conducted on 1236 university students enrolled in the mooc.bartin.edu.tr platform. The research data were obtained from the students’ records of their system usage behaviors. The findings are presented visually and it is thought that these results can guide instructors to improve their learning environments and content.
