Nowadays, web-based educational systems are being installed more and more by universities, schools, businesses, and even individual instructors in order to add web technology to their courses and to supplement traditional face-to-face courses. These systems accumulate a vast amount of data which is very valuable for analyzing the contentof the courses and their usage from the learners.A new method is proposed in order to analyze these datain three layers based on an innovative organization. Seven variables are used.They are combined properly to quantify quality characteristics of the courses and offer useful insights based on their material and usage by the learners.All the variables were put to test in a case scenario that took place in a Greek university web based e-Learning data. The evaluation of the results has shown that the proposed system managed to track both educational content and course usage successfully. The results confirmed the validity of the approach and showed a relationship among the components of the proposed 3-layer organization.
