• Abstract summary: This study proposes an LMS incorporated with an advanced educational mining module to mine efficiently from student performance records. Results show increased mining efficiency of the proposed mining module without information loss compared to classic educational mining algorithms. The design and application of such an effective LMS can enable educators to learn from past student performance experiences, empowering them to guide and intervene with students in time, and eventually improve their academic success.

• Abstract: A learning management system streamlines the management of the teaching process in a centralized place, recording, tracking, and reporting the delivery of educational courses and student performance. Educational knowledge discovery from such an e-learning system plays a crucial role in rule regulation, policy establishment, and system development. However, existing LMSs do not have embedded mining modules to directly extract knowledge. As educational modes become more complex, educational data mining efficiency from those heterogeneous student learning behaviours is gradually degraded. Therefore, an LMS incorporated with an advanced educational mining module is proposed in this study, as a means to mine efficiently from student performance records to provide valuable insights for educators in helping plan effective learning pedagogies, improve curriculum design, and guarantee quality of teaching. Through two illustrative case studies, experimental results demonstrate increased mining efficiency of the proposed mining module without information loss compared to classic educational mining algorithms. The mined knowledge reveals a set of attributes that significantly impact student academic performance, and further classification evaluation validates the identified attributes. The design and application of such an effective LMS can enable educators to learn from past student performance experiences, empowering them to guide and intervene with students in time, and eventually improve their academic success.

  We use Language Models (LMs) as educational experts to assess the impact of various instructions on learning outcomes. We introduce an instruction optimization approach in which one LM generates instructional materials using the judgments of another LM as a reward function. Human teachers' evaluations of these LM-generated worksheets show a significant alignment between the LM judgments and human teacher preferences.

  We use Process Mining Techniques to examine students' acquisition of core skills such as self-regulated learning. We applied a new algorithm in the educational domain called Inductive Miner over the interaction traces from 101 university students in a course given over one semester on the Moodle 2.0 platform. We can conclude that students who passed did not follow the instructors' suggestions exactly, but they did follow the logic of a successful self-regulated learning process as opposed to their failing classmates.

  Policy distillation, which transfers a teacher policy to a student policy, has achieved great success in challenging tasks of deep reinforcement learning. In this work, we introduce dual policy distillation(DPD), a student-student framework in which two learners operate on the same environment to explore different perspectives of the environment. The key challenge in developing this dual learning framework is to identify the beneficial knowledge from the peer learner for contemporary learning-based reinforcement learning algorithms.
