    The internet has become the largest source of educational resources over the last decade. However, most of the educational resources are still unorganized and decient in the application of educational models. To overcome this problem, dierent metadata formats, digital libraries and, web directories have been implemented. Currently, these applications require domain experts in Computing and Education to properly categorize the educational properties of an educational material manually. Recently, the educational level has raised as an important property of educational materials according to the 21st century pedagogical needs and interests of academicians. Nevertheless, most of the online educational materials still lack of this description. In this thesis we addressed the task of automatically determining the educational level property of an educational material based on its web page on-page features. By experimenting on a data corpora of pre-labeled web pages of educational materials under the K-12 educational levels, we demonstrated that the determination of the Main Categories (Elementary School, Middle School, and High School) of the educational levels property can be automated by a computerized system using supervised learning techniques.
