Effective written communication is an essential skill which promotes educational success for undergraduates. However, undergraduate students, especially those in their first year at university, are unused to this form of writing. After their long experience with the schoolroom essay, for most undergraduates academic writing development is painstakingly slow. Thus, especially those with poor writing abilities, should write more to be better writers. Yet, the biggest impediment to more writing is that overburdened tutors would ask limited number of drafts from their students. Today, there exist powerful computational language technologies that could evaluate student writing, saving time and providing timely, speedy, reliable feedback which can support educators marking process. This paper motivates an updated visual analytics dashboard, XIPIt, to introduce a set of visual and writing analytics features embedded in a marking environment built on XIP output.

While many strategies for protecting personal privacy have relied on regulatory frameworks, consent and anonymizing data, such approaches are not always effective. Frameworks and Terms and Conditions often lag user behaviour and advances in technology and software; consent can be provisional and fragile; and the anonymization of data may impede personalized learning. This paper reports on a dialogical multi-case study methodology of four Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) providers from different geopolitical and regulatory contexts. It explores how the providers (1) define 'personal data' and whether they acknowledge a category of 'special' or 'sensitive' data; (2) address the issue and scope of student consent (and define that scope); and (3) use student data in order to inform pedagogy and/or adapt the learning experience to personalise the context or to increase student retention and success rates. This study found that large amounts of personal data continue to be collected for purposes seemingly unrelated to the delivery and support of courses. The capacity for users to withdraw or withhold consent for the collection of certain categories of data such as sensitive personal data remains severely constrained. This paper proposes that user consent at the time of registration should be reconsidered, and that there is a particular need for consent when sensitive personal data are used to personalize learning, or for purposes outside the original intention of obtaining consent.
虽然许多保护个人隐私的策略依赖于监管框架、同意和匿名数据,但这些方法并不总是有效的。框架和条款条件往往落后于用户行为以及技术和软件的进步;同意可能是暂时的和脆弱的;数据的匿名化可能会阻碍个性化学习。本文对来自不同地缘政治和监管背景的四家大规模在线开放课程(MOOC)提供商进行了对话式多案例研究。它探讨了提供商如何(1)定义“个人数据”,以及他们是否承认一类“特殊”或“敏感”数据;(2)解决学生同意的问题和范围(并定义该范围);(3)利用学生数据来指导教学方法和/或调整学习经验,使其个性化,或提高学生的保留率和成功率。这项研究发现,大量的个人资料继续被收集,用于看似与提供和支持课程无关的目的。用户撤销或拒绝同意收集某些类别的数据(如敏感的个人数据)的能力仍然受到严重限制。本文建议应重新考虑用户在注册时的同意,并且当敏感个人数据被用于个性化学习或用于获得同意的初衷之外的目的时,特别需要征得同意。

Use expert knowledge instead of data: generating hints for hour of code exercises 使用专业知识而不是数据:为几个小时的代码练习生成提示

Within the field of on-line tutoring systems for learning programming, such as Code.org's Hour of code, there is a trend to use previous student data to give hints. This paper shows that it is better to use expert knowledge to provide hints in environments such as Code.org's Hour of code. We present a heuristic-based approach to generating next-step hints. We use pattern matching algorithms to identify heuristics and apply each identified heuristic to an input program. We generate a next-step hint by selecting the highest scoring heuristic using a scoring function. By comparing our results with results of a previous experiment on Hour of code we show that a heuristics-based approach to providing hints gives results that are impossible to further improve. These basic heuristics are sufficient to efficiently mimic experts' next-step hints.
在学习编程的在线辅导系统领域,比如Code.org的“编程一小时”(Hour of code),有一种趋势是使用以前学生的数据来提供提示。本文表明,在Code.org的代码一小时(Hour of code)等环境中,最好使用专家知识来提供提示。我们提出了一种基于启发式的方法来生成下一步提示。我们使用模式匹配算法来识别启发式,并将每个识别的启发式应用于输入程序。我们通过使用评分函数选择得分最高的启发式来生成下一步提示。通过将我们的结果与之前在Hour of code上的实验结果进行比较,我们发现基于启发式的方法提供提示的结果是不可能进一步改进的。这些基本的启发式方法足以有效地模仿专家的下一步提示。

Given that both computer scientists and educational researchers publish on the topic of massive open online courses (MOOCs), the research community should analyze how these disciplines approach the same topic. In order to promote productive dialogue within the community, we report on a bib-liometrics study of the growing MOOC literature and examine the potential interdisciplinarity of this research space. Drawing from 3,380 bibliographic items retrieved from Scopus, we conducted descriptive analyses on publication years, publication sources, disciplinary categories of publication sources, frequent keywords, leading authors, and cited references. We applied bibliographic coupling and network analysis to further investigate clusters of research topics in the MOOC literature. We found balanced representation of education and computer science within most topic clusters. However, integration could be further improved on, for example, by enhancing communication between the disciplines and broadening the scope of methods in specific studies.
鉴于计算机科学家和教育研究人员都以大规模在线开放课程(MOOCs)为主题发表文章,研究界应该分析这些学科是如何处理同一主题的。为了促进社区内富有成效的对话,我们报告了对不断增长的MOOC文献的文献计量学研究,并检查了这一研究领域的潜在跨学科性。从Scopus检索到的3380个书目项目中,我们对出版年份、出版来源、出版来源的学科类别、常用关键词、主要作者和被引参考文献进行了描述性分析。我们运用书目耦合和网络分析对MOOC文献中的研究课题集群进行了进一步的研究。我们发现在大多数主题集群中,教育和计算机科学的表现是平衡的。但是,可以进一步改善一体化,例如,通过加强学科之间的交流和扩大具体研究方法的范围。

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) continue to see increasing enrollment and adoption by universities, although they are still not fully understood and could perhaps be significantly improved. For example, little is known about the relationships between the ways in which students choose to use MOOCs (e.g., sampling lecture videos, discussing topics with fellow students) and their overall level of engagement with the course, although these relationships are likely key to effective course implementation. In this paper we propose a multilevel definition of student engagement with MOOCs and explore the connections between engagement and students' behaviors across five unique courses. We modeled engagement using ordinal penalized logistic regression with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and found several predictors of engagement that were consistent across courses. In particular, we found that discussion activities (e.g., viewing forum posts) were positively related to engagement, whereas other types of student behaviors (e.g., attempting quizzes) were consistently related to less engagement with the course. Finally, we discuss implications of unexpected findings that replicated across courses, future work to explore these implications, and relevance of our findings for MOOC course design.
大规模在线开放课程(MOOCs)的注册人数和被大学采用的人数不断增加,尽管人们还没有完全理解它,或许还可以大幅改进。例如,学生选择使用mooc的方式(例如,抽样讲座视频,与同学讨论主题)与他们对课程的整体参与程度之间的关系知之甚少,尽管这些关系可能是有效实施课程的关键。在本文中,我们提出了mooc学生参与的多层次定义,并探讨了五个独特课程的参与与学生行为之间的联系。我们使用具有最小绝对收缩和选择算子(LASSO)的有序惩罚逻辑回归对敬业度进行建模,并发现了几个跨球场一致的敬业度预测因子。特别是,我们发现讨论活动(例如,查看论坛帖子)与参与度呈正相关,而其他类型的学生行为(例如,尝试测验)始终与课程参与度降低相关。最后,我们讨论了跨课程复制的意外发现的含义,未来探索这些含义的工作,以及我们的发现与MOOC课程设计的相关性。

Student performance over a course of an academic program can be significantly affected and positively influenced through a series of feedback processes by peers and tutors. Ideally, this feedback is structured and incremental, and as a consequence, data presents at large scale even in relatively small classes. In this paper, we investigate the effect of such processes as we analyze assessment data collected from online courses. We plan to fully analyze the massive dataset of over three and a half million granular data points generated to make the case for the scalability of these kinds of learning analytics. This could shed crucial light on assessment mechanism in MOOCs, as we continue to refine our processes in an effort to strike a balance of emphasis on formative in addition to summative assessment.
学生在学术课程中的表现可以通过同伴和导师的一系列反馈过程受到显著和积极的影响。理想情况下,这种反馈是结构化的和增量的,因此,即使在相对较小的班级中,数据也可以大规模地呈现。在本文中,我们在分析从在线课程收集的评估数据时,调查了这些过程的影响。我们计划全面分析生成的超过350万个颗粒数据点的庞大数据集,以证明这些学习分析的可扩展性。随着我们不断完善我们的流程,努力在强调形成性评估和总结性评估之间取得平衡,这可能为mooc的评估机制提供重要启示。

Online learning platforms, such as edX, generate usage statistics data that can be valuable to educators. However, handling this raw data can prove challenging and time consuming for instructors and course designers. The raw data for the MIT courses running on the edX platform (MITx courses) are pre-processed and stored in a Google BigQuery database. We designed a tool based on Python and additional open-source Python packages such as Jupyter Notebook, to enable instructors to analyze their student data easily and securely. We expect that instructors would be encouraged to adopt more evidence-based teaching practices based on their interaction with the data.
edX等在线学习平台生成的使用统计数据对教育工作者很有价值。然而,对于教师和课程设计者来说,处理这些原始数据可能是具有挑战性和耗时的。在edX平台上运行的MIT课程(MITx课程)的原始数据经过预处理并存储在谷歌BigQuery数据库中。我们设计了一个基于Python和其他开源Python包(如Jupyter Notebook)的工具,使教师能够轻松安全地分析学生数据。我们期望教师能够在与数据互动的基础上采用更多基于证据的教学实践。

The global reach of online experiments and their wide adoption in fields ranging from political science to computer science poses an underexplored opportunity for learning at scale: the possibility of participants learning about the research to which they contribute data. We conducted three experiments on Amazon's Mechanical Turk to evaluate whether participants of paid online experiments are interested in learning about research, what information they find most interesting, and whether providing them with such information actually leads to learning gains. Our findings show that 40% of our participants on Mechanical Turk actively sought out post-experiment learning opportunities despite having already received their financial compensation. Participants expressed high interest in a range of research topics, including previous research and experimental design. Finally, we find that participants comprehend and accurately recall facts from post-experiment learning opportunities. Our findings suggest that Mechanical Turk can be a valuable platform for learning at scale and scientific outreach.
在线实验的全球影响力及其在从政治学到计算机科学等领域的广泛采用,为大规模学习提供了一个未被充分开发的机会:参与者有可能了解他们提供数据的研究。我们在亚马逊的Mechanical Turk上进行了三个实验,以评估付费在线实验的参与者是否有兴趣了解研究,他们最感兴趣的信息是什么,以及向他们提供这些信息是否真的能带来学习收益。我们的研究结果表明,尽管已经获得了经济补偿,但40%的Mechanical Turk参与者仍积极寻求实验后的学习机会。与会者对一系列研究课题表达了浓厚的兴趣,包括以往的研究和实验设计。最后,我们发现参与者在实验后的学习机会中理解并准确地回忆起事实。我们的研究结果表明,Mechanical Turk可以成为一个有价值的大规模学习和科学推广的平台。

This paper applies theory and methodology from the learning design literature to large-scale learning environments through quantitative modeling of the structure and design of Massive Open Online Courses. For two institutions of higher education, we automate the task of encoding pedagogy and learning design principles for 177 courses (which accounted for for nearly 4 million enrollments). Course materials from these MOOCs are parsed and abstracted into sequences of components, such as videos and problems. Our key contributions are (i) describing the parsing and abstraction of courses for quantitative analyses, (ii) the automated categorization of similar course designs, and (iii) the identification of key structural components that show relationships between categories and learning design principles. We employ two methods to categorize similar course designs---one aimed at clustering courses using transition probabilities and another using trajectory mining. We then proceed with an exploratory analysis of relationships between our categorization and learning outcomes.
本文通过对大规模在线开放课程的结构和设计进行定量建模,将学习设计文献中的理论和方法应用到大规模学习环境中。对于两所高等教育机构,我们自动化了177门课程(占近400万注册人数)的教学法和学习设计原则编码任务。这些mooc的课程材料被解析和抽象成一系列的组件,比如视频和问题。我们的主要贡献是(i)描述用于定量分析的课程解析和抽象,(ii)类似课程设计的自动分类,以及(iii)识别显示类别和学习设计原则之间关系的关键结构组件。我们采用两种方法对类似的课程设计进行分类——一种旨在使用转移概率对课程进行聚类,另一种使用轨迹挖掘。然后,我们继续探索性分析我们的分类和学习成果之间的关系。

We then proceed with an exploratory analysis of relationships between our categorization and learning outcomes.","PeriodicalId":20634,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth Annual ACM Conference on Learning at Scale","volume":"183 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74630196","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}

This study analyzes the use of paper exams in college-level STEM courses. It leverages a unique dataset of nearly 1,800 exams, which were scanned into a web application, then processed by a team of annotators to yield a detailed snapshot of the way instructors currently structure exams. The focus of the investigation is on the variety of question formats, and how they are applied across different course topics. The analysis divides questions according to seven top-level categories, finding significant differences among these in terms of positioning, use across subjects, and student performance. The analysis also reveals a strong tendency within the collection for instructors to order questions from easier to harder. A linear mixed effects model is used to estimate the reliability of different question types. Long writing questions stand out for their high reliability, while binary and multiple choice questions have low reliability. The model suggests that over three multiple choice questions, or over five binary questions, are required to attain the same reliability as a single long writing question. A correlation analysis across seven response types finds that student abilities for different questions types exceed 70 percent for all pairs, although binary and multiple-choice questions stand out for having unusually low correlations with all other question types.
本研究分析了大学水平STEM课程中纸卷考试的使用情况。它利用了一个包含近1800个考试的独特数据集,这些考试被扫描到一个网络应用程序中,然后由一组注释者进行处理,以生成教师当前组织考试方式的详细快照。调查的重点是各种各样的问题格式,以及它们如何在不同的课程主题中应用。该分析将问题分为七个顶级类别,发现这些类别在定位、跨学科使用和学生表现方面存在显著差异。分析还揭示了一个强烈的趋势,在收集教师排序问题从容易到难。采用线性混合效应模型估计不同题型的信度。长篇写作题的信度较高,而二选题和多项选择题的信度较低。该模型表明,超过三个选择题,或超过五个二元问题,需要达到与一个长写作问题相同的可靠性。对七种答题类型的相关分析发现,学生对不同答题类型的答题能力在所有答题对中都超过70%,尽管二元选择题和多项选择题与其他所有答题类型的相关性异常低。
