• Abstract: In order to enhance students' initiative and participation in MOOC learning, this study constructed a multi-level network model based on Social Network Analysis (SNA). The model makes use of data pertaining to nearly 40,000 users and tens of thousands of courses from various higher education MOOC platforms. Furthermore, an AI-based assistant has been developed which utilises the collected data to provide personalised recommendations regarding courses and study groups for students. The objective is to examine the relationship between students' course selection preferences and their academic interest levels. Based on the results of the relationship analysis, the AI assistant employs technologies such as GNN to recommend suitable courses and study groups to students. This study offers new insights into the potential of personalised teaching on MOOC platforms, demonstrating the value of data-driven and AI-assisted methods in improving the quality of online learning experiences, increasing student engagement, and enhancing learning outcomes.

  We propose a Multi-Layer Personalized Federated Learning (MLPFL) methodology to optimize inference accuracy over different layers of student grouping criteria. In our approach, personalized models for individual student subgroups are derived from a global model. Experiments on three real-world online course datasets show significant improvements achieved by our approach over existing student modeling benchmarks.

  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.
