Paper Abstract:	It is obvious that the tracking data acquired from each learning environment has become more advantageous to various participants in the learning process. As an example, the tracking data of learner’s activities are used to depict not only the activities themselves but also the outputs of the activities that learners carried through. Tracking data are somehow considered useful elements, exploited by researchers and developers to improve learning environments as well as to develop other educational tools and applications. As yet, their riches and complexities have brought up a number of new research challenges, among which the use of the tracking data for assisting the participants in the learning process, both learners and instructors. In this paper, we present an approach for better collecting and exploiting the tracking data of the learner’s activities while interacting with Computer Mediated Communication tools in Web-based learning environments.
