• Abstract: In today's rapidly evolving educational landscape, traditional modes of passive information delivery are giving way to transformative pedagogical approaches that prioritize active student engagement. Within the context of large-scale hybrid classrooms, the challenge lies in fostering meaningful and active interaction between students and course content. This study delves into the significance of measuring students' earnestness during interactive lecture participation exercises. By analyzing students' responses to interactive lecture poll questions, establishing a clear rubric for evaluating earnestness, and conducting a comprehensive assessment, we introduce EIT (Earnest Insight Toolkit), a tool designed to assess students' engagement within interactive lecture participation exercises - particularly in the context of large-scale hybrid classrooms. Through the utilization of EIT, our objective is to equip educators with valuable means of identifying at-risk students for enhancing intervention and support strategies, as well as measuring students' levels of engagement with course content.

  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.
