During the COVID-19 pandemic there was a rapid shift to emergency remote teaching practices and online tools for education have already gained further attention. While eLearning initiatives are developed and its implementation at scale are widely discussed, this research focuses on the utilization of data which can be logged in such eLearning systems. We demonstrate the need and potential of utilizing learning logs to create services supporting sustainable quality improvement of education. Learning and Evidence Analytics Framework (LEAF), is the overarching technology framework with affordances to adopt evidence-based practices for education. It aims to promote learning for all by introducing data-driven services for personalized approaches.

Object-Oriented database systems (OODBMS) are well known for modeling complex and dynamic application domains. Typically OODBMS have to handle large and complex structured objects whose values and structures can change frequently. Consequently there is a high demand for systems which support temporal and versioning features in both objects (or database population) and schema. This paper presents a mechanism for accessing the temporal versioned objects stored in the database which supports schema versioning. The results shown here can be considered as a value-added extension of our model called TVOO described in detail in [1] and [2]. In contrast to conventional database models, in TVOO objects and classes are not physically discarded from the database after they are modified or deleted. They are time dependent and the history of the changes which occur on them are kept as Version hierarchies. Therefore our model enriches the database environment with temporal and versioning features. Also, an access mechanism which makes it possible to access any object under any schema version is defined in such a way that not only objects created under old versions of schema classes can be accessed from new versions, but also objects created by new schema class versions can be accessed from old versions of the respective class.
