title = "Predicting post-training readiness to work with computers: The predominance of log-based variables",
abstract = "In today's job market, computer skills are part of the prerequisites for many jobs. In this paper, we report on a study of readiness to work with computers (the dependent variable) among unemployed women (N=54) after participating in a unique training focused on computer skills and empowerment. Associations were explored between this variable and 17 variables from four categories: log-based, computer literacy and experience, job-seeking motivation and practice, and training satisfaction. Only two variables were associated with the dependent variable: Knowledge post-test duration and satisfaction with content. Building a prediction model of the dependent variable, another feature was highlighted: Total number of actions in the course website along the course. Our analyses highlight the predominance of the log-based variables over the variables from the other categories, and we thoroughly discuss this finding.",
