In recent years, the influence of cognitive effects and biases on users' thinking, behaving, and decision-making has garnered increasing attention in the field of interactive information retrieval. The decoy effect, one of the main…
Research experience and mentoring has been identified as an effective intervention for increasing student engagement and retention in the STEM fields, with high impact on students from undeserved populations. However, one-on-one mentoring…
As online educational technology products have become increasingly prevalent, rich evidence indicates that learners often find it challenging to establish regular learning habits and complete their programs. Concurrently, online products…
Large language models (LLMs) are becoming increasingly embedded in students' learning practices, yet much of what is known about how students use LLMs and how this usage impacts learning comes from problem-solving domains or constrained…
Introductory artificial intelligence (AI) courses present significant learning challenges due to abstract concepts, mathematical complexity, and students' diverse technical backgrounds. While active and collaborative pedagogies are often…
The shortage of people trained in STEM fields is becoming acute, and universities and colleges are straining to satisfy this demand. In the case of computer science, for instance, the number of US students taking introductory courses has…
A major focus in the STEM public engagement sector concerns engaging with young people, typically through schools. The aims of these interventions are often to positively affect students' aspirations towards continuing STEM education and…
We investigate how the students think of their experience in a junior 300 level computer science course that uses blackboard as the underlying course management system. The discussion boards in Blackboard are heavily used for programming…
The identification and analysis of student satisfaction is a challenging issue. This is becoming increasingly important since a measure of student satisfaction is taken as an indication of how well a course has been taught. However, it…
Among the general population, students are especially sensitive to social media and smartphones because of their pervasiveness. Several studies have shown that there is a negative correlation between social media and academic performance…
Instructors of statistics who teach non-statistics majors possess varied academic backgrounds, and hence it is reasonable to expect variability in their content knowledge, and pedagogical approach. The aim of this study was to determine the…
Real-world systems often involve some pool of users choosing between a set of services. With the increase in popularity of online learning algorithms, these services can now self-optimize, leveraging data collected on users to maximize some…
Online learning is a powerful tool for analyzing iterative algorithms. However, the classic adversarial setup sometimes fails to capture certain regularity in online problems in practice. Motivated by this, we establish a new setup, called…
Written reflection assignments give students valuable opportunities for critical self-assessment, meaning making, and learning processing. Additionally, such reflections provide rich data for qualitative education research. However,…
Recent advances in user modeling make it feasible to conduct open-ended inference over a person's everyday computer use. Despite longstanding visions of systems that deeply understand our actions and the purposes they serve in our lives,…
This study explores the effectiveness of AI tools in enhancing student learning, specifically in improving study habits, time management, and feedback mechanisms. The research focuses on how AI tools can support personalized learning,…
We detail some lessons learned while designing and testing a decision-theoretic advising support tool for undergraduates at a large state university. Between 2009 and 2011 we conducted two surveys of over 500 students in multiple majors and…
ChatGPT, launched in November 2022, has gained widespread attention from students and educators globally, with an online report by Hu (2023) stating it as the fastest-growing consumer application in history. While discussions on the use of…
In this paper, we describe how we changed the structure of problem sessions in an algorithmic subject, in order to improve student confidence. The subject in question is taught to very large cohorts of (around 900) students, though our…
Does academic engagement accelerate or crowd out the commercialization of university knowledge? Research on this topic seldom considers the impact of the institutional environment, especially when a formal institution for encouraging the…
