• Abstract: Peer Instruction (PI) and Continuous Assessment(CA) are two distinct educational techniques with extensive research demonstrating their effectiveness. The work herein combines PI and CA in a deliberate and novel manner to pair students together for a PI session in which they collaborate on a CA task. The data used to inform the pairing method is restricted to the most previous CA task students completed independently. The motivation for this data-driven collaborative learning is to improve student learning, communication, and engagement. Quantitative results from an investigation of the method show improved assessment scores on the PI CA tasks, although evidence of a positive effect on subsequent individual CA tasks was not statistically significant as anticipated. However, student perceptions were positive, engagement was high, and students interacted with a broader set of peers than is typical. These qualitative observations, together with extant research on the general benefits of improving student engagement and communication (e.g. improved sense of belonging, increased social capital, etc.), render the method worthy for further research into building and evaluating small student learning communities using student assessment data.

  We investigate collaborative active learning, a paradigm in which multiple collaborators explore a new domain by leveraging their combined machine learning capabilities without disclosing their existing data and models. This collaboration offers several advantages: (a) it addresses privacy and security concerns by eliminating the need for direct model and data disclosure; (b) it enables the use of different data sources and insights without direct data exchange; and (c) it promotes cost-effectiveness and resource efficiency through shared labeling costs.

• Evaluating Pedagogical Incentives in Undergraduate Computing: A Mixed Methods Approach Using Learning Analytics [0.0]
  This paper assesses the impact of new pedagogical incentives implemented in a first-year undergraduate computing module at University College London. We employ a mixed methods approach, combining learning analytics with qualitative data to evaluate the effectiveness of these incentives on increasing student engagement. Our paper introduces an interpretable and actionable model for student engagement, which integrates objective, data-driven analysis with students' perspectives.

  There is no evidence to support the conclusion that learning analytics dashboards (LADs) have lived up to the promise of improving academic achievement. LADs showed a relatively substantial impact on student participation. To advance the research line for LADs, researchers should use rigorous assessment methods and establish clear standards for evaluating learning constructs.

  We present an empirical study that evaluates and contrasts four commonly employed annotation methods in user studies focused on in-the-wild data collection. 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.

  Self-training teacher-student frameworks are proposed to improve the robustness of NER models. In this paper, we propose an adaptive teacher learning comprised of two teacher-student networks. Fine-grained student ensemble updates each fragment of the teacher model with a temporal moving average of the corresponding fragment of the student, which enhances consistent predictions on each model fragment against noise.

  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.

  We propose the dynamic prior knowledge (DPK), which integrates part of teacher's features as the prior knowledge before the feature distillation. Our DPK makes the performance of the student model positively correlated with that of the teacher model, which means that we can further boost the accuracy of students by applying larger teachers.

  A common problem in the task of human-object interaction (HOI) detection is that numerous HOI classes have only a small number of labeled examples. We observe that there exist natural correlations and anti-correlations among human-object interactions. We present techniques to learn these priors and leverage them for more effective training, especially on rare classes.
