- Title: Learn-Apply-Reinforce/Share Learning: Hackathons and CTFs as General
Pedagogic Tools in Higher Education, and Their Applicability to Distance
Learning
- Authors: Tom Goodman and Andreea-Ina Radu
- Abstract summary: This paper lays out two teaching/learning methods that are becoming increasingly prevalent in computer science.
A case study of each is analysed, and the underpinning similarities extracted.
The frameworks are generalised to Learn-Apply-Reinforce/Share Learning - a social constructivistic method that can be used subject-independently.

- Abstract: This paper lays out two teaching/learning methods that are becoming
increasingly prevalent in computer science - hackathons, and Capture the Flag
(CTF) competitions - and the pedagogic theory that underpins them. A case study
of each is analysed, and the underpinning similarities extracted. The
frameworks are then generalised to Learn-Apply-Reinforce/Share Learning - a
social constructivistic method that can be used subject-independently. The
applicability of this new method to distance learning is then investigated -
with a mind to potential necessity to work from home - both due to increasing
demand in the Higher Education sector, but also the devastating impact of
crises such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, a few potential
extensions and future applications are discussed - including the possibilities
of pivoting the method to be more research-driven, or indeed, to drive
research.

We show how off-policy reinforcement learning can enable improved performance under assumptions that are similar but potentially even more practical than those of interactive imitation learning.
Our proposed method uses reinforcement learning with user intervention signals themselves as rewards.
This relaxes the assumption that intervening experts in interactive imitation learning should be near-optimal and enables the algorithm to learn behaviors that improve over the potential suboptimal human expert.

Federated learning is a distributed learning framework enhanced to preserve the privacy of individuals' data.
In times of crisis, when real-time decision-making is critical, federated learning allows multiple entities to work collectively without sharing sensitive data.
This paper is a systematic review of the literature on privacy-preserving machine learning in the last few years.

Reinforcement learning has a rich history in neuroscience, from early work on dopamine as a reward prediction error signal for temporal difference learning.
Recent work suggests that dopamine could implement a form of 'distributional reinforcement learning' popularized in deep learning.

Humans ability to transfer knowledge through teaching is one of the essential aspects for human intelligence.
With the rise of online education platforms, there is a similar need for machines to track the knowledge of students and tailor their learning experience.
This is known as the Knowledge Tracing (KT) problem in the literature.
Effectively solving the KT problem would unlock the potential of computer-aided education applications such as intelligent tutoring systems, curriculum learning, and learning materials' recommendation.

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have become a popular choice for e-learning thanks to their great flexibility.
Due to large numbers of learners and their diverse backgrounds, it is taxing to offer real-time support.
With the large volume of posts and high workloads for MOOC instructors, it is unlikely that the instructors can identify all learners requiring intervention.
This paper explores for the first time Bayesian deep learning on learner-based text posts with two methods: Monte Carlo Dropout and Variational Inference.
