• Abstract: The hit of the COVID-19 pandemic has hugely affected higher education in the world, and as a result, most of the physical classes have been (partially) replaced by online teaching platforms. This transition is challenging even for experienced software engineering instructors, as they were pushed to break their habits and tricks developed over the years. This paper is an experience report in teaching an undergraduate course (revolving theoretical computer science topics) for the first time in an online format, and some observations and ideas of how to engage students during online lectures.

  Many universities were forced to switch to online education as a result of COVID-19. A growing number of institutions are considering blended learning with some parts in-person and the rest of the learning taking place online. In this paper, we are offering a primary dataset, the initial implementation of a virtual teaching assistant named VTA-bot, and its system architecture.

  We propose seminar learning, a new learning paradigm for semantic segmentation with click-level supervision. The rationale of seminar learning is to leverage the knowledge from different networks to compensate for insufficient information provided in click-level annotations. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of seminar learning, which achieves the new state-of-the-art performance of 72.51%.

  We propose a novel approach using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to achieve better student performance prediction in interactive online question pools. Specifically, we model the relationship between students and questions using student interactions to construct the student-interaction-question network. We evaluate the effectiveness of our approach on a real-world dataset consisting of 104,113 mouse trajectories generated in the problem-solving process of over 4000 students on 1631 questions.
