Learning analytics (LA) has emerged as a technique for educational quality improvement in many learning contexts, including blended learning (BL) courses. Numerous studies show that students' academic performance is significantly impacted by their ability to engage in self-regulated learning (SRL). In this study, learning behaviors indicating SRL and motivation are elucidated during a BL course on second language learning. Online trace data of a mobile language learning application (m-learning app) is used as a part of BL implementation. The observed motivation were of two categories: high-level motivation (study in time, study again, and early learning) and low-level motivation (cramming and catch up). As a result, students who perform well tend to engage in high-level motivation. While low performance students tend to engage in clow-level motivation. Those findings are supported by regression models showing that study in time followed by early learning significantly influences the academic performance of BL courses, both in the spring and fall semesters. Using limited resource of m-learning app log data, this BL study could explain the overall BL performance.
