• Abstract: This paper introduces novel methods for preparing and analyzing student interaction data extracted from course management systems like Moodle to facilitate process mining, like the creation of graphs that show the process flow. Such graphs can get very complex as Moodle courses can contain hundreds of different activities, which makes it difficult to compare the paths of different student cohorts. Moreover, existing research often confines its focus to individual courses, overlooking potential patterns that may transcend course boundaries. Our research addresses these challenges by implementing an automated dataflow that directly queries data from the Moodle database via SQL, offering the flexibility of filtering on individual courses if needed. In addition to analyzing individual Moodle activities, we explore patterns at an aggregated course section level. Furthermore, we present a method for standardizing section labels across courses, facilitating cross-course analysis to uncover broader usage patterns. Our findings reveal, among other insights, that higher-performing students demonstrate a propensity to engage more frequently with available activities and exhibit more dynamic movement between objects. While these patterns are discernible when analyzing individual course activity-events, they become more pronounced when aggregated to the section level and analyzed across multiple courses.

  Online active learning is a paradigm in machine learning that aims to select the most informative data points to label from a data stream. Annotating each observation can be time-consuming and costly, making it difficult to obtain large amounts of labeled data. This work aims to provide an overview of the most recently proposed approaches for selecting the most informative observations from data streams in real time.

In addition, we integrate this module into single-stage instance segmentation and pose estimation frameworks.
