• Abstract: Group discussion-based teaching is widely used to foster collaborative learning, yet teachers in physical classrooms often struggle to simultaneously monitor multiple groups and quickly diagnose a target group before intervening. Existing visual analytics tools primarily support post-hoc analysis on desktop, providing limited support for in-situ walk-around teaching. To address this gap, we present MobileGroupVis, a mobile visual analytics system for in-situ analysis of classroom group discussions. MobileGroupVis integrates multi-group monitoring, single-group diagnosis, and instructional intervention into a concise analytical workflow tailored for small-screen touch interaction. The system is powered by a lightweight streaming analysis pipeline that converts group audio into structured discussion data and further extracts interaction patterns, topic progression, and topic deviation through a dialogue analysis module. To enable both glanceable overview and traceable diagnosis, we design six coordinated views, including a compact glyph that visually encodes word count, interaction intensity, and topic deviation for efficient cross-group comparison and anomaly localization, along with detailed views for opinion evolution, interaction dynamics, topic coverage, and dialogue records. We evaluate MobileGroupVis through two case studies and expert interviews. The results provide preliminary evidence that MobileGroupVis supports teachers in understanding discussion processes, identifying groups in need of attention, and facilitating in-class intervention.

  This study aims to collect and analyze the discussion dialogs in flipped classroom in order to get to know group learning processes and outcomes. We have recently transformed a course using the flipped classroom strategy, where students watched video-recorded lectures at home prior to group-based problem-solving discussions in class. Then, machine learning algorithms are applied to the indicators in order to predict the group learning outcome as High, Mid or Low.

  Computer vision applications rely on learning-based perception modules parameterized with neural networks for tasks like object detection. These modules frequently have low expected error overall but high error on atypical groups of data due to biases inherent in the training process. Our main contribution is a pseudo-automatic method to discover such groups in foresight by performing causal interventions on simulated scenes.
