• Abstract: Online teaching has become a new reality due to the COVID-19 pandemic raising a lot of questions about its learning outcomes. Recent studies have shown that peer communication positively affects learning outcomes of online teaching. However, it is not clear how collaborative programming tasks change peer communication patterns in the learning process. In this study, we compare communication patterns in MOOCs where peer communication is limited with those of a blended course in which students are involved in online peer instruction. We used a mixed-method approach comprising automated text analysis and community extraction with further qualitative analysis. The results show that students prefer to seek help in programming from peers and not the teacher. Team assignment helped to support this habit. Students communicated more positively and intensively with each other, while only team leaders communicated with the instructor reducing teacher overload. This shift could explain how peer communication improves learning outcomes, as has been shown in previous studies on MOOCs.

  The present study uses transmodal ordered network analysis to understand effective teacher practices in relationship to traditional metrics of in-system learning in a mathematics classroom working with AI tutors. Comparing teacher practices by student learning rates, we find that students with low learning rates exhibited more hint use after monitoring. Students with low learning rates showed learning behavior similar to their high learning rate peers, achieving repeated correct attempts in the tutor.

  This paper investigates a pedagogical approach of classroom flipping based on flipped interaction in large language models. Flipped interaction involves using language models to prioritize generating questions instead of answers to prompts. We propose a workflow to integrate prompt engineering with clicker and JiTT quizzes by a poll-prompt-quiz routine and a quiz-prompt-discuss routine.

  This work investigates the effect of teaching modality when interacting with a virtual agent via the Curiosity Notebook. A method of teaching the agent by selecting sentences from source material is compared to a method paraphrasing the source material and typing text input to teach. The results indicate that teaching via paraphrasing and text input has a positive effect on learning outcomes for the material covered, and also on aspects of affective engagement.
