• Abstract summary: This research presents a computer vision-based approach to analyze and quantify learners' attentiveness, engagement, and other affective states within online learning scenarios. A machine learning-based algorithm is developed on top of the classification model that outputs a comprehensive attentiveness index of the learners. An end-to-end pipeline is proposed through which learners' live video feed is processed, providing detailed attentiveness analytics of the learners to the instructors.

• Abstract: In recent times, online education and the usage of video-conferencing platforms have experienced massive growth. Due to the limited scope of a virtual classroom, it may become difficult for instructors to analyze learners' attention and comprehension in real time while teaching. In the digital mode of education, it would be beneficial for instructors to have an automated feedback mechanism to be informed regarding learners' attentiveness at any given time. This research presents a novel computer vision-based approach to analyze and quantify learners' attentiveness, engagement, and other affective states within online learning scenarios. This work presents the development of a multiclass multioutput classification method using convolutional neural networks on a publicly available dataset - DAiSEE. A machine learning-based algorithm is developed on top of the classification model that outputs a comprehensive attentiveness index of the learners. Furthermore, an end-to-end pipeline is proposed through which learners' live video feed is processed, providing detailed attentiveness analytics of the learners to the instructors. By comparing the experimental outcomes of the proposed method against those of previous methods, it is demonstrated that the proposed method exhibits better attentiveness detection than state-of-the-art methods. The proposed system is a comprehensive, practical, and real-time solution that is deployable and easy to use. The experimental results also demonstrate the system's efficiency in gauging learners' attentiveness.

  The present study uses transmodal ordered network analysis to understand effective teacher practices in relationship to traditional metrics of in-system learning in a mathematics classroom working with AI tutors. Comparing teacher practices by student learning rates, we find that students with low learning rates exhibited more hint use after monitoring. Students with low learning rates showed learning behavior similar to their high learning rate peers, achieving repeated correct attempts in the tutor.

  We show how off-policy reinforcement learning can enable improved performance under assumptions that are similar but potentially even more practical than those of interactive imitation learning. Our proposed method uses reinforcement learning with user intervention signals themselves as rewards. This relaxes the assumption that intervening experts in interactive imitation learning should be near-optimal and enables the algorithm to learn behaviors that improve over the potential suboptimal human expert.
