• Abstract: Understanding students' preferences and learning satisfaction during COVID-19 has focused on learning attributes such as self-efficacy, performance, and engagement. Although existing efforts have constructed statistical models capable of accurately identifying significant factors impacting learning satisfaction, they do not necessarily explain the complex relationships among these factors in depth. This study aimed to understand several facets related to student learning preferences and satisfaction during the pandemic such as individual learner characteristics, instructional design elements and social and environmental factors. Responses from 302 students from Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea were collected between 2021 and 2022. Information gathered included their gender, study major, satisfaction and motivation levels when learning, perceived performance, emotional state and learning environment. Wilcoxon Rank sum test and Explainable Boosting Machine (EBM) were performed to determine significant differences in specific cohorts. The two core findings of the study are as follows:1) Using Wilcoxon Rank Sum test, we can attest with 95% confidence that students who took offline classes had significantly higher learning satisfaction, among other attributes, than those who took online classes, as with STEM versus HASS students; 2) An explainable boosting machine (EBM) model fitted to 95.08% accuracy determined the top five factors affecting students' learning satisfaction as their perceived performance, their perception on participating in class activities, their study majors, their ability to conduct discussions in class and the study space availability at home. Positive perceived performance and ability to discuss with classmates had a positive impact on learning satisfaction, while negative perception on class activities participation had a negative impact on learning satisfaction.

  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.

  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 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.

  Knowledge of a well-trained deep neural network (a.k.a. the "teacher") is valuable for learning similar tasks. Knowledge distillation extracts knowledge from the teacher and integrates it with the target model. Instead of enforcing the teacher to work on the same task as the student, we borrow the knowledge from a teacher trained from a general label space.

  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.
