Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) bring together a global crowd of thousands of learners for several weeks or months. In theory, the openness and scale of MOOCs can promote iterative dialogue that facilitates group cognition and knowledge…
Collaborative learning is an educational approach that enhances learning through shared goals and working together. Interaction and regulation are two essential factors related to the success of collaborative learning. Since the information…
Student modeling, the task of inferring a student's learning characteristics through their interactions with coursework, is a fundamental issue in intelligent education. Although the recent attempts from knowledge tracing and cognitive…
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) are seen as a next step in distance online learning. In the MOOC vision, large numbers of students can access the course content over the Internet and complete courses at their own pace while interacting…
Big data repositories from online learning platforms such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) represent an unprecedented opportunity to advance research on education at scale and impact a global population of learners. To date, such…
Student learning activity in MOOCs can be viewed from multiple perspectives. We present a new organization of MOOC learner activity data at a resolution that is in between the fine granularity of the clickstream and coarse organizations…
In this paper, we propose a dynamic shared context processing method based on DSC (Dynamic Shared Context) model, applied in an e-collaborative learning environment. Firstly, we present the model. This is a way to measure the relevance…
Neurophysiology research has demonstrated that it is possible and valuable to investigate sensory processing in scenarios involving continuous sensory streams, such as speech and music. Over the past 10 years or so, novel analytic…
We study student behavior and performance in two Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). In doing so, we present two frameworks by which video-watching clickstreams can be represented: one based on the sequence of events created, and another…
Data is often impractical to share for a range of well considered reasons, such as concerns over privacy, intellectual property, and legal constraints. This not only fragments the statistical power of predictive models, but creates an…
Massive open online courses (MOOC) have become important in the learning journey of college students and have been extensively implemented in higher education. However, there are few studies that investigated the willingness to continue…
This paper presents data analysis from a course on Software Engineering in an effort to identify metrics and techniques that would allow instructor to act proactively and identify patterns of low engagement and inefficient peer…
