• Title: Assessing Attendance by Peer Information
• Authors: Pan Deng, Jianjun Zhou, Jing Lyu, Zitong Zhao
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel method called Relative Attendance Index (RAI) to measure attendance rates. While traditional attendance focuses on the record of a single person or course, relative attendance emphasizes peer attendance information of relevant individuals or courses. Experimental results on real-life data show that RAI can indeed better reflect student engagement.

• Abstract: Attendance rate is an important indicator of students' study motivation, behavior and Psychological status; However, the heterogeneous nature of student attendance rates due to the course registration difference or the online/offline difference in a blended learning environment makes it challenging to compare attendance rates. In this paper, we propose a novel method called Relative Attendance Index (RAI) to measure attendance rates, which reflects students' efforts on attending courses. While traditional attendance focuses on the record of a single person or course, relative attendance emphasizes peer attendance information of relevant individuals or courses, making the comparisons of attendance more justified. Experimental results on real-life data show that RAI can indeed better reflect student engagement.

• A Comparative Analysis of Student Performance Predictions in Online Courses using Heterogeneous Knowledge Graphs [0.0]
  We analyze a heterogeneous knowledge graph consisting of students, course videos, formative assessments and their interactions to predict student performance. We then compare the models generated between 5 on-campus and 2 fully-online MOOC-style instances of the same course. The model developed achieved a 70-90% accuracy of predicting whether a student would pass a particular problem set based on content consumed, course instance, and modality.

For both the user-driven, in situ annotations, where participants annotate their activities during the actual recording process, and the recall methods, where participants retrospectively annotate their data at the end of each day, the participants had the flexibility to select their own set of activity classes and corresponding labels.

  We propose a responsible active learning method, namely Peer Study Learning (PSL), to simultaneously preserve data privacy and improve model stability. We first introduce a human-in-the-loop teacher-student architecture to isolate unlabelled data from the task learner (teacher) on the cloud-side. During training, the task learner instructs the light-weight active learner which then provides feedback on the active sampling criterion.

  Knowledge of a well-trained deep neural network (a.k.a. the "teacher") is valuable for learning similar tasks. Knowledge distillation extracts knowledge from the teacher and integrates it with the target model. Instead of enforcing the teacher to work on the same task as the student, we borrow the knowledge from a teacher trained from a general label space.

  During the COVID-19 crisis, educational institutions worldwide shifted from face-to-face instruction to emergency remote teaching (ERT) modalities. We analyzed data on 7,528 undergraduate students and found that cooperative and consensus dynamics among students in discussion forums positively affect their final GPA. Using natural language processing, we show that first-year students with low academic performance during high school are exposed to more content-intensive posts in discussion forums.

  We propose an analytical model based on continuous time Markov chains (CTMCs) to capture instructor-student interactions in an online forum (OEF) We observe that students exhibit varied degree of non-monotonicity in their participation with increasing instructor involvement. Our model exhibits the empirically observed super-poster phenomenon under certain parameter configurations and recommends an optimal plan to the instructor for maximizing student participation in OEFs.
