Abstract:

In the digital education application domain, developers of platforms such as online classrooms face the challenges of privacy issues and existing datasets’ insufficient size in their pursuit of data-driven optimization. To address this, a set of heterogeneous data models adapted to the characteristics of education were constructed, and corresponding data generation tools (E-Tools) that can be used to simulate data interactions in complex educational scenarios were implemented. Experimental results have shown that the tool can maintain an efficient data generation speed (64–74 $ {\rm{MB}}\cdot {{\rm{s}}^{-1}} $) under a variety of data sizes, demonstrating good linear scaling ability, which validates the model’s effectiveness and the tool’s ability to generate larger data volumes. A heterogeneous data query load reflecting students’ learning behaviors was also designed to provide strong support for performance evaluation and the education platform’s optimization.

Key words: online education, heterogeneous data, query loads
