Personalized learning environments increasingly rely on learner modeling techniques that integrate both explicit and implicit data sources. This study introduces a hybrid profiling methodology that combines psychometric data from an extended Felder–Silverman Learning Style Model (FSLSM) questionnaire with behavioral analytics derived from Moodle Learning Management System interaction logs. A structured mapping process was employed to associate over 200 unique log event types with FSLSM cognitive dimensions, enabling dynamic, behavior-driven learner profiles. Experiments were conducted across three datasets: a university dataset from the International Hellenic University, a public dataset from Kaggle, and a combined dataset totaling over 7 million log entries. Deep learning models including a Sequential Neural Network, BiLSTM, and a pretrained MLSTM-FCN were trained to predict student performance across regression and classification tasks. Results indicate moderate predictive validity: binary classification achieved practical, albeit imperfect accuracy, while three-class and regression tasks performed close to baseline levels. These findings highlight both the potential and the current constraints of log-based learner modeling. The contribution of this work lies in providing a reproducible integration framework and pipeline that can be applied across datasets, offering a realistic foundation for further exploration of scalable, data-driven personalization.
