As online education proliferates, one concern that has been raised is that it may fail to capture desirable emergent phe-nomena from on-campus programs. Student community is one example of such a phenomenon: on-campus student communities thrive based on synchronous collocation. An online program might be designed to capture all deliberate constructs in an on-campus program, but there may be beneficial side effects of synchronous collocation that are not apparent. In this work, we examine the issue of social isolation in an online graduate program. By happenstance, three studies were conducted in relative isolation looking at social isolation from different angles. The first study exam-ined trajectories in social presence as a semester proceeded. The second study developed an understanding of students' needs with regard to community in an online program. The third study tested out an immersive virtual environment to try to improve students' sense of connectedness. Combin-ing their findings, we find compelling evidence of the exist-ence of a Synchronicity Paradox in online education: stu-dents desire synchronicity to form strong social communi-ties, and yet part of the chief appeal of these online pro-grams is their asynchronicity. In light of this finding, we provide design guidelines for how synchronicity may be reintroduced into asynchronous programs without sacrific-ing the benefits of asynchronicity. More specifically, we propose that scale itself may be the key to building emer-gent synchronicity.
随着在线教育的激增,人们提出了一个担忧,即它可能无法从校园课程中捕捉到令人满意的新兴现象。学生社区就是这种现象的一个例子:校园学生社区的繁荣基于同步搭配。在线课程可能被设计为捕捉校园课程中所有有意的结构,但同步搭配可能有不明显的有益副作用。在这项工作中,我们研究了在线研究生课程中的社会隔离问题。偶然的是,在相对孤立的情况下进行了三项研究,从不同的角度观察社会孤立。第一项研究考察了一个学期的社会存在轨迹。第二项研究发展了对在线课程中学生对社区的需求的理解。第三项研究测试了一个沉浸式虚拟环境,试图提高学生的联系感。结合他们的研究结果,我们发现了在线教育中存在同步性悖论的令人信服的证据:学生希望同步性以形成强大的社会社区,然而这些在线课程的部分主要吸引力是它们的异步性。根据这一发现,我们提供了如何在不牺牲异步优势的情况下将同步性重新引入异步程序的设计指南。更具体地说,我们提出规模本身可能是建立紧急同步性的关键。

Online learning systems that provide actionable and personalized guidance can help learners make better decisions during learning. Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) extensions and deep learning based approaches have demonstrated improved mastery prediction accuracy compared to the basic BKT model; however, neither set of models provides actionable guidance on learning activities beyond mastery prediction. We propose a novel framework for personalized knowledge tracing with attention mechanism. Our proposed framework incorporates auxiliary learner attributes into knowledge tracing and interprets mastery prediction with the learning attributes. The proposed approach can also provide personalized next best learning activity recommendations. We demonstrate that the accuracy of the proposed approach in mastery prediction is slightly higher compared to deep learning based approaches and that the proposed approach can provide personalized next best learning activity recommendation.
提供可操作和个性化指导的在线学习系统可以帮助学习者在学习过程中做出更好的决定。与基本的BKT模型相比,贝叶斯知识跟踪(BKT)扩展和基于深度学习的方法已经证明了掌握预测的准确性;然而,这两组模型都没有为掌握预测之外的学习活动提供可操作的指导。提出了一种基于注意机制的个性化知识追踪框架。我们提出的框架将辅助学习者属性融入到知识跟踪中,并用学习属性解释掌握预测。所提出的方法还可以提供个性化的次优学习活动建议。我们证明,与基于深度学习的方法相比,所提出的方法在掌握预测方面的准确性略高,并且所提出的方法可以提供个性化的次优学习活动推荐。

Mobile learning apps such as Duolingo have allowed millions of students to study new subjects that they might not otherwise be able to. One study mode utilized in mobile learning is a digital "flashcard," a tool used by students for studying and memorizing content both in and out of the traditional classroom. Here I investigate whether a multiple-choice type flashcard, which asks the user to identify the picture from one of 4 options, performs better than a digital flashcard to help users identify pictures of fake, cartoon fish. The results of the study so far are inconclusive, not finding statistically significant differences in quiz scores between participants who use the standard flashcards and those who used the multiple-choice flashcard. However, the results may indicate that participants who studied using the multiple-choice flashcard achieved similar scores while studying less on average than those who studied using the standard flashcards.
Duolingo等移动学习应用程序让数百万学生学习了原本无法学习的新课程。移动学习中使用的一种学习模式是数字“抽认卡”,这是学生在传统课堂内外学习和记忆内容的工具。在这里,我调查了一个多选题类型的抽认卡,它要求用户从4个选项中选择一个来识别图片,是否比数字抽认卡在帮助用户识别假的卡通鱼的图片方面表现得更好。到目前为止,这项研究的结果还没有定论,没有发现使用标准抽认卡的参与者和使用选择题抽认卡的参与者在测验分数上有统计学上的显著差异。然而,研究结果可能表明,与使用标准抽认卡学习的参与者相比,使用多选题抽认卡学习的参与者在平均学习时间较短的情况下获得了相似的分数。

Interpretable Models Do Not Compromise Accuracy or Fairness in Predicting College Success 可解释的模型不会影响预测大学成功的准确性和公平性
Pub Date : 2020-08-12 DOI: 10.1145/3386527.3406755

The presence of "big data" in higher education has led to the increasing popularity of predictive analytics for guiding various stakeholders on appropriate actions to support student success. In developing such applications, model selection is a central issue. As such, this study presents a comprehensive examination of five commonly used machine learning models in student success prediction. Using administrative and learning management system (LMS) data for nearly 2,000 college students at a public university, we employ the models to predict short-term and long-term academic success. Beyond the tradeoff between model interpretability and accuracy, we also focus on the fairness of these models with regard to different student populations. Our findings suggest that more interpretable models such as logistic regression do not necessarily compromise predictive accuracy. Also, they lead to no more, if not less, prediction bias against disadvantaged student groups than complicated models. Moreover, prediction biases against certain groups persist even in the fairest model. These results thus recommend using simpler algorithms in conjunction with human evaluation in instructional and institutional applications of student success prediction when valid student features are in place.
高等教育中“大数据”的存在导致预测分析越来越受欢迎,用于指导各种利益相关者采取适当行动,以支持学生的成功。在开发这样的应用程序时,模型选择是一个中心问题。因此,本研究对学生成功预测中常用的五种机器学习模型进行了全面的研究。使用行政和学习管理系统(LMS)的数据在一所公立大学的近2000名大学生,我们使用模型来预测短期和长期的学业成功。除了模型可解释性和准确性之间的权衡之外,我们还关注这些模型对于不同学生群体的公平性。我们的研究结果表明,更多可解释的模型,如逻辑回归,并不一定会损害预测的准确性。此外,与复杂模型相比,它们对弱势学生群体的预测偏差即使没有减少,也不会增加。此外,即使在最公平的模型中,对某些群体的预测偏见仍然存在。因此,这些结果建议在有效的学生特征到位时,在教学和机构应用中使用更简单的算法,并结合人类评估来预测学生的成功。

Advances in education technology are enabling tremendous advances in learning at scale. However, they typically assume resources taken for granted in developed countries, including reliable electricity, high-bandwidth Internet access, fast WiFi, powerful computers, sophisticated sensors, and expert technical support to keep it all working. This paper examines these assumptions in the context of a massive test of learning at scale in a developing country. We examine each assumption, how it was broken, and some workarounds used in a 15-month-long independent controlled evaluation of pre- to posttest learning and social-emotional gains by over 2,000 children in 168 villages in Tanzania. We analyze those gains to characterize who gained how much, using test score data, social-emotional measures, and detailed logs from RoboTutor. We quantify the relative impact of pretest scores, literate aspirations, treatment, and usage on learning gains.
教育技术的进步使大规模学习取得了巨大进步。然而,他们通常会使用发达国家认为理所当然的资源,包括可靠的电力、高带宽的互联网接入、快速的WiFi、功能强大的计算机、复杂的传感器和专业的技术支持,以保持一切正常运行。本文在一个发展中国家大规模学习测试的背景下检验了这些假设。我们研究了每个假设,它是如何被打破的,以及一些变通方法,并对坦桑尼亚168个村庄的2000多名儿童进行了为期15个月的测试前后学习和社交情感收益的独立对照评估。我们使用考试成绩数据、社交情绪测量和RoboTutor的详细日志来分析这些收益,以确定谁获得了多少收益。我们量化了考试前分数、识字愿望、治疗和使用对学习收益的相对影响。

Peripheral and Semi-Peripheral Community: A New Design Challenge for Learning at Scale 外围和半外围社区:大规模学习的新设计挑战

Existing attempts to foster a greater sense of community in online education have largely focused on direct interactions among students in peer review, forums, and other mechanisms. In this paper, we pose a new design challenge for learning at scale: peripheral community. Peripheral community is the sense of community derived from peripheral interactions in which a student has visibility into others' behaviors without a direct, intentional interaction occurring between the students. We argue for the value of peripheral community by examining opportunities for such visibility in residential learning environments. We then explore possible ways to supply peripheral community, both in the form of new initiatives and in reinterpretations of existing interventions as fostering peripheral community.
现有的在在线教育中培养更大的社区意识的尝试主要集中在学生之间在同行评议、论坛和其他机制中的直接互动。在本文中,我们为大规模学习提出了一个新的设计挑战:外围社区。外围社区是源于外围互动的社区意识,在这种互动中,学生可以看到其他人的行为,而无需学生之间发生直接的、有意的互动。我们通过研究住宅学习环境中这种可见性的机会来论证周边社区的价值。然后,我们将探索为周边社区提供服务的可能方法,包括以新举措的形式和对现有干预措施的重新解释,以促进周边社区的发展。

Open navigation online learning systems allow learners to choose the next learning activity. These systems can be instrumented to provide learners with feedback to help them choose the next learning activity. One type of feedback is providing an estimate of the learner's current skill proficiency. A learner can then choose to skip the remaining learning activities for that skill after achieving proficiency in that skill. In this paper, we investigate whether predicting proficiency and communicating it to learners can save time for learners within a course. We evaluate the accuracy of the BKT based proficiency pre- diction framework for learner's proficiency prediction which considers one attempt per question. We extend the proficiency prediction framework to include multiple attempts at individual questions and show that it is more accurate in proficiency prediction than BKT based proficiency prediction framework. We discuss the potential implications of attempt enhanced framework on the learners' behavior for open navigation on- line learning systems.
开放式导航在线学习系统允许学习者选择下一个学习活动。这些系统可以为学习者提供反馈,帮助他们选择下一个学习活动。一种反馈是提供对学习者当前技能熟练程度的估计。学习者可以在熟练掌握该技能后选择跳过剩余的学习活动。在本文中,我们研究预测熟练程度并将其传达给学习者是否可以在课程中节省学习者的时间。我们评估了基于BKT的学习者水平预测框架的准确性,该框架考虑每个问题一次尝试。我们将熟练度预测框架扩展到包含对单个问题的多次尝试,并表明它在熟练度预测方面比基于BKT的熟练度预测框架更准确。我们讨论了尝试增强框架对开放导航在线学习系统中学习者行为的潜在影响。

Challenges of Online Learning in Nigeria 尼日利亚在线学习的挑战
Pub Date : 2020-08-12 DOI: 10.1145/3386527.3405953

Education has traditionally been administered via physical interactions between teachers and students in classrooms. Through technological advancement in communications and digital devices, online education has been developed with the potential to scale education, making it affordable and accessible. With an internet connection and a laptop or mobile phone, learners can access massive open online courses (MOOCs) for free. Nonetheless, the opportunity to scale education and the advantages of online learning are not always fulfilled due to certain challenges. In this work, Socioeconomic, Sociocultural, and IT infrastructural factors are categorized as challenges hindering the adoption of online learning in Nigeria. Although some factors mitigating online learning have been identified in the past, there is relatively little empirical evidence indicating the reality and severity of these challenges. Since scaling education involves worldwide reach, local contexts such as found in Nigeria and other developing countries become critical. The objective of this work, therefore, is to understand these challenges, present empirical evidence through a questionnaire survey, rank these challenges in order of severity, and propose solutions.
传统上,教育是通过教师和学生在教室里的身体互动来进行的。通过通信和数字设备的技术进步,在线教育已经发展起来,具有扩大教育规模的潜力,使其负担得起并易于获得。有了互联网连接和笔记本电脑或手机,学习者就可以免费学习大规模开放在线课程(MOOCs)。然而,由于某些挑战,扩大教育规模的机会和在线学习的优势并不总是能够实现。在这项工作中,社会经济、社会文化和信息技术基础设施因素被归类为阻碍尼日利亚采用在线学习的挑战。尽管过去已经确定了一些缓解在线学习的因素,但表明这些挑战的现实和严重性的经验证据相对较少。由于扩大教育规模涉及到全球范围,尼日利亚和其他发展中国家的当地环境就变得至关重要。因此,这项工作的目的是了解这些挑战,通过问卷调查提供经验证据,按严重程度对这些挑战进行排名,并提出解决方案。

This paper describes an educational tool developed to teach coding and computational thinking to children. We designed and implemented an adaptive, interactive learning game application (mobile and web) called "Pixasso". In this application, children will write a simple program to color the 'pixels' of an image. Through the game application, they will learn programming commands, sequencing and debugging. This educational application was built using prevailing research on child centered design knowledge regarding child user interface and experience and aims to help scale initiatives dedicated towards introducing children to computer science at an early age.

In this application, children will write a simple program to color the 'pixels' of an image. Through the game application, they will learn programming commands, sequencing and debugging. This educational application was built using prevailing research on child centered design knowledge regarding child user interface and experience and aims to help scale initiatives dedicated towards introducing children to computer science at an early age.","PeriodicalId":20608,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Seventh ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76189566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate student learning behaviors in a Massive Open Online Course with in-person components. Our goal is to improve the design of the course through learning analytics. The programming language taught, App Inventor, is a drag-and-drop language to create Android applications. We visualize and quantify student behaviors such as automatic and manual saving of code, video sections viewed, and the various forms of knowledge required to understand the course material. It appears students are less likely to go from course material that teaches procedures to other material that teaches procedures than we would expect, and rarely review previous topics covered in the course. We also find students tend to save marginally less at the beginning and end of sessions. However, since the data set is small, our conclusions are limited.
我们调查了学生在大规模开放在线课程中的学习行为。我们的目标是通过学习分析来改进课程的设计。教授的编程语言App Inventor是一种拖放式语言,可以创建Android应用程序。我们可视化和量化学生的行为,例如自动和手动保存代码,查看视频部分,以及理解课程材料所需的各种形式的知识。学生似乎不太可能从讲授程序的课程材料转到讲授程序的其他材料,而不是我们所期望的那样,而且很少复习课程中涵盖的先前主题。我们还发现,学生们倾向于在课程开始和结束时少存一些钱。然而,由于数据集很小,我们的结论是有限的。
