Research-based assessments (RBAs), such as the Force Concept Inventory, have played central roles in many course transformations from traditional lecture-based instruction to research-based teaching methods. In order to support instructors…
High-stakes assessments, such the Graduate Records Examination, have transitioned from paper to computer administration. Low-stakes Research-Based Assessments (RBAs), such as the Force Concept Inventory, have only recently begun this…
The number and use of research-based assessments (RBAs) has grown significantly over the last several decades. Data from RBAs can be compared against national datasets to provide instructors with empirical evidence on the efficacy of their…
This study investigates how faculty, student, and course features are linked to student outcomes in Learning Assistant (LA) supported courses. Over 4,500 students and 17 instructors from 13 LA Alliance member institutions participated in…
A central goal of the Learning Assistant (LA) model is to improve students' learning of science through the transformation of instructor practices. There is minimal existing research on the impact of college physics instructor experiences…
We have developed an Internet-based audience response system (called ARSBO). In this way we combine the advantages of common audience response systems using handheld devices and the easy and cheap access to the Internet. Evaluations of…
The Learning Assistant (LA) model supports instructors in implementing research-based teaching practices in their own courses. In the LA model, undergraduate students are hired to help facilitate research-based collaborative-learning…
Historically, the implementation of research-based assessments (RBAs) has been a driver of educational change within physics and helped motivate adoption of interactive engagement pedagogies. Until recently, RBAs were given to students…
Learning analytics (LA) is argued to be able to improve learning outcomes, learner support and teaching. However, despite an increasingly expanding amount of student (digital) data accessible from various online education and learning…
Creating equitable performance outcomes among students is a focus of many instructors and researchers. One focus of this effort is examining disparities in physics student performance across genders, which is a well-established problem.…
Mobile applications and other integration of information and communication technology (ICT) have become well-known in education to monitor teaching and learning activities. The analysis of student learning through evaluation is a growing…
The use of computer-based mathematics tools is widespread in learning. Depending on the way that these tools assess the learner's solution paths, one can distinguish between automatic assessment tools and semi-automatic assessment tools.…
This study introduces the LPBSA, an advanced optimization algorithm that combines Learner Performance-based Behavior (LPB) and Simulated Annealing (SA) in a hybrid approach. Emphasizing metaheuristics, the LPBSA addresses and mitigates the…
Providing timely and actionable feedback on oral presentation slides is challenging in higher education, particularly in large classes where teachers cannot realistically deliver detailed formative feedback before students present. This…
We present a new method for measuring the effectiveness of online learning resources, through the analysis of time-stamped log data of students' interaction with a sequence of online learning modules created based on the concept of mastery…
Historically, the implementation of research-based assessments (RBAs) has been a driver of education change within physics and helped motivate adoption of interactive engagement pedagogies. Until recently, RBAs were given to students…
Open Learning Analytics (OLA) is an emerging research area that aims at improving learning efficiency and effectiveness in lifelong learning environments. OLA employs multiple methods to draw value from a wide range of educational data…
Learning analytics (LA) is data collection, analysis, and representation of data about learners in order to improve their learning and performance. Furthermore, LA opens the door to opportunities for self-regulated learning in higher…
In order to track and comprehend the academic achievement of students, both private and public educational institutions devote a significant amount of resources and labour. One of the difficult issues that institutes deal with on a regular…
Online tools provide unique access to research students' study habits and problem-solving behavior. In MOOCs, this online data can be used to inform instructors and to provide automatic guidance to students. However, these techniques may…
