With the aim of supporting instructional designers in setting up collaborative learning activities in MOOCs, this paper derives prediction models for student participation in group discussions. The salient feature of these models is that they are built using only data prior to the learning activity, and can thus provide actionable predictions, as opposed to post-hoc approaches common in the MOOC literature. Some learning design scenarios that make use of this actionable information are illustrated.
为了支持教学设计师在mooc中开展协作学习活动,本文推导了学生参与小组讨论的预测模型。这些模型的显著特征是,它们仅使用学习活动之前的数据构建,因此可以提供可操作的预测,而不是MOOC文献中常见的事后方法。说明了一些利用这些可操作信息的学习设计场景。

The processes through which course selections accumulate into college pathways in US higher education is poorly instrumented for observation at scale. We offer an analytic toolkit, called Via, which transforms commonly available enrollment data into formal graphs that are amenable to interactive visualizations and computational exploration. We explain the procedures required to project enrollment records onto graphs, and then demonstrate the toolkit utilizing eighteen years of enrollment data at a large private research university. Findings complement prior research on academic search and offer powerful new means for making pathway navigation more efficient.
在美国高等教育中,课程选择累积到大学入学途径的过程缺乏大规模观察的工具。我们提供了一个名为Via的分析工具包,它可以将通常可用的注册数据转换为适合交互式可视化和计算探索的正式图形。我们解释了将入学记录投影到图表上所需的过程,然后利用一所大型私立研究型大学18年的入学数据演示了该工具包。这些发现补充了先前的学术搜索研究,并为提高路径导航的效率提供了强有力的新手段。

Numerous studies have concluded that viewer retention decreases as video length increases. However, we are not aware of any prior work in which a set of longer MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) videos are compared with the same content split into multiple shorter videos. We are fortunate to be in the unique position to have two separate MOOCs that teach essentially the same content using two different platforms (the LEGO Mindstorms NXT and EV3 robots). In our NXT MOOC, videos are quite long, with over 20% of the videos having a running time of more than ten minutes. The EV3 MOOC has very similar content; EV3 MOOC scripts were written by modifying NXT scripts as appropriate. However, many of the EV3 lessons were split into two or three shorter videos in place of a single longer one. NXT videos that are very close in terms of both content and duration to EV3 videos have similar average percentage viewed. This suggests that the two populations watching the videos are similar and that we have a promising setup for analyzing the relationship between NXT lessons whose EV3 counterparts consist of multiple shorter videos. We present an analysis of our data, along with various interpretations some, but not all, of which support the "shorter videos are better" hypothesis.
许多研究得出结论,随着视频长度的增加,观众的留存率会下降。然而,我们不知道之前有任何研究将一组较长的MOOC (Massive Open Online Course)视频与将同一内容分成多个较短的视频进行比较。我们很幸运能够拥有两个独立的mooc,使用两个不同的平台(LEGO Mindstorms NXT和EV3机器人)教授本质上相同的内容。在我们的NXT MOOC中,视频非常长,超过20%的视频运行时间超过10分钟。EV3 MOOC有非常相似的内容;EV3 MOOC脚本是通过适当修改NXT脚本编写的。然而,许多EV3课程被分成两个或三个较短的视频,而不是一个较长的视频。NXT视频在内容和时长方面与EV3视频非常接近,其平均观看率相似。这表明观看视频的两个人群是相似的,并且我们有一个很好的设置来分析NXT课程之间的关系,这些课程的EV3对应课程由多个较短的视频组成。我们对我们的数据进行了分析,并给出了不同的解释,其中一些(但不是全部)支持“视频越短越好”的假设。

The ability to work in teams is an important skill in today's work environments. In MOOCs, however, team work, team tasks, and graded team-based assignments play only a marginal role. To close this gap, we have been exploring ways to integrate graded team-based assignments in MOOCs. Some goals of our work are to determine simple criteria to match teams in a volatile environment and to enable a frictionless online collaboration for the participants within our MOOC platform. The high dropout rates in MOOCs pose particular challenges for team work in this context. By now, we have conducted 15 MOOCs containing graded team-based assignments in a variety of topics. The paper at hand presents a study that aims to establish a solid understanding of the participants in the team tasks. Furthermore, we attempt to determine which team compositions are particularly successful. Finally, we examine how several modifications to our platform's collaborative toolset have affected the dropout rates and performance of the teams.
在当今的工作环境中,团队合作能力是一项重要的技能。然而,在mooc中,团队合作、团队任务和基于团队的分级作业只起到了很小的作用。为了缩小这一差距,我们一直在探索将基于团队的分级作业整合到mooc中的方法。我们工作的一些目标是确定简单的标准,以便在不稳定的环境中匹配团队,并在我们的MOOC平台上为参与者提供无摩擦的在线协作。在这种情况下,mooc的高辍学率给团队合作带来了特别的挑战。到目前为止,我们已经开展了15门mooc课程,包括各种主题的分级小组作业。手头的论文提出了一项研究,旨在建立对团队任务参与者的坚实理解。此外,我们试图确定哪些团队组成特别成功。最后,我们检查了对我们平台的协作工具集的一些修改是如何影响团队的辍学率和绩效的。

In low-resource, over-burdened schools and learning centres, peer assessment systems promise significant practical and pedagogical benefits. Many of the these benefits have been realised in contexts like massive open online courses (MOOCs) and university classrooms which share a specific trait with low-resource schools: high learner-teacher ratios. However, the constraints and considerations for designing and deploying peer assessment systems in low-resource classrooms have not been well-researched and understood, especially for high school. In this paper, we present the design of a peer assessment system for second language learning (English as a Second Language) for high school learners in South Africa. We report findings from multiple studies investigating qualitative and quantitative aspects of peer review, as well as the contextual factors that influence the viability of peer assessment systems in these contexts.
在资源匮乏、负担过重的学校和学习中心,同侪评估系统有望带来重大的实际和教学效益。这些好处很多都是在大规模在线开放课程(MOOCs)和大学课堂等环境中实现的,它们与资源匮乏的学校有一个共同的特点:高师生比例。然而,在低资源教室中设计和部署同伴评估系统的限制和考虑因素尚未得到很好的研究和理解,特别是在高中。在本文中,我们提出了一种针对南非高中学习者的第二语言学习(英语作为第二语言)的同伴评估系统的设计。我们报告了多项研究的结果,这些研究调查了同行评议的定性和定量方面,以及在这些背景下影响同行评议系统可行性的背景因素。

Formative feedback has long been recognized as a crucial scaffold for student learning. Due to the job demand of instructors, it is impossible for them to provide individual students with on-demand formative feedback based on individual students' performance. There is a growing interest in developing better approaches to provide students with automated formative feedback to assist their learning. In this research, we design and develop an automated formative feedback system to support student learning of conceptual knowledge in the course of writing assignments. In the proposed system, formative feedback can be generated automatically with the help of concept maps constructed from instructors' lecture slides and students' writing assignments. In this paper, we present the automatic approach to generate formative feedback, discuss the system architecture, and illustrate a prototype of the proposed system.
长期以来,形成性反馈一直被认为是学生学习的重要支撑。由于教师的工作需求,他们不可能根据个别学生的表现为个别学生提供按需的形成性反馈。人们越来越有兴趣开发更好的方法,为学生提供自动化的形成性反馈,以帮助他们学习。在这项研究中,我们设计并开发了一个自动化的形成性反馈系统,以支持学生在写作作业过程中学习概念知识。在提出的系统中,形成性反馈可以在教师的讲座幻灯片和学生的写作作业构建的概念图的帮助下自动生成。在本文中,我们提出了自动生成形成性反馈的方法,讨论了系统架构,并举例说明了所提议系统的原型。

In principle, learning can be increased by assessing the detailed state of student knowledge and mistaken knowledge with a pre-test and then optimizing instruction as measured by the post-test score. As a first step in this direction, we applied a Multidimensional Item Response Theory (MIRT) to 17,000 pre-instruction administrations of the Force Concept Inventory (FCI) to study students' initial knowledge in detail. Examination of Item Response Curves (IRCs) showed that even students scoring below chance are not randomly guessing, but instead preferentially select only one or two distractors. Two dimensional IRT applied to the entire set of 150 possible responses, rather than applied dichotomously to the thirty questions, revealed two skill dimensions of comparable variance. Perpendicular directions were identified within this space corresponding to Newtonian ability and propensity to select responses whose IRC's have a maximum at intermediate Newtonian ability rather than at the top of bottom of this dimension. These intermediate responses corresponded to known pre-Newtonian ideas, particularly the Medieval concept of impetus. The ability to measure the detailed misconceptions of individual students or classes will allow development and application of instructional interventions for such specific misunderstandings, which are typically unchanged by traditional instruction.
原则上,通过前测评估学生知识和错误知识的详细状态,然后通过后测分数来优化教学,可以增加学习。作为这个方向的第一步,我们将多维项目反应理论(MIRT)应用于17000份力概念量表(FCI)的教学前管理,详细研究了学生的初始知识。项目反应曲线(IRCs)的测试表明,即使得分低于机会的学生也不是随机猜测,而是优先选择一两个干扰物。二维IRT应用于全部150个可能的回答,而不是对30个问题进行二分,揭示了两个技能维度的可比方差。在这个空间内确定了垂直方向,对应于牛顿能力和选择响应的倾向,其IRC在中间牛顿能力而不是在该维度的顶部和底部具有最大值。这些中间反应与已知的牛顿之前的思想,特别是中世纪的动力概念相对应。测量个别学生或班级的详细误解的能力将允许针对此类特定误解开发和应用教学干预措施,这些误解通常不会被传统教学改变。

We introduce PARQR, a tool for online education forums that reduces duplicate posts by 40% in a degree seeking online masters program at a top university. Instead of performing a standard keyword search, PARQR monitors questions as students compose them and continuously suggests relevant posts. In testing, PARQR correctly recommends a relevant post, if one exists, 73.5% of the time. We discuss PARQR's design, initial experimental results comparing different semesters with and without PARQR, and interviews we conducted with teaching instructors regarding their experience with PARQR.
我们介绍了PARQR,这是一个在线教育论坛的工具,在一所顶尖大学的在线硕士学位课程中,它减少了40%的重复帖子。PARQR不是执行标准的关键字搜索,而是在学生撰写问题时进行监控,并不断推荐相关帖子。在测试中,PARQR在73.5%的时间里正确地推荐了相关职位(如果存在的话)。我们讨论了PARQR的设计,比较使用和不使用PARQR的不同学期的初步实验结果,以及我们对教学教师进行的关于他们使用PARQR的经验的访谈。

Design Perspectives of Learning at Scale: Scaling Efficiency and Empowerment 大规模学习的设计视角:扩展效率和授权
Pub Date : 2019-06-24 DOI: 10.1145/3330430.3333620
Chinmay Kulkarni
How do we design technology for learning at scale? Based on an examination of a large number of influential systems for learning at scale, I argue that designing for scale is not an amorphous design undertaking. Instead, it builds on two distinct perspectives on scale. Systems built with a scaling through efficiency perspective make learning more efficient and allow the same number of instructors to help a much larger set of learners. Systems with a scaling through empowerment perspective empower a larger number of people to assist learners effectively. I outline how these simple differences in design perspective lead to large differences in design concerns, techniques, and evaluation criteria. Articulating prevalent design perspectives should make overlooked design opportunities more salient, help systems designers design for scale more deliberately and understand their tradeoffs, and open up new opportunities to designers who shift their perspectives.
我们如何设计大规模学习的技术?基于对大量有影响力的大规模学习系统的研究,我认为为规模而设计不是一项无定形的设计事业。相反,它建立在两种不同的规模视角上。基于效率视角构建的系统可以提高学习效率,并允许相同数量的教师帮助更多的学习者。具有通过授权扩展视角的系统使更多的人能够有效地帮助学习者。我概述了这些设计角度的简单差异如何导致设计关注点、技术和评估标准的巨大差异。阐明流行的设计观点可以使被忽视的设计机会更加突出,帮助系统设计师更有意识地进行规模设计,并了解其权衡,并为改变观点的设计师提供新的机会。

Articulating prevalent design perspectives should make overlooked design opportunities more salient, help systems designers design for scale more deliberately and understand their tradeoffs, and open up new opportunities to designers who shift their perspectives.","PeriodicalId":20693,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth (2019) ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78875806","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 present LiveDataLab, a novel general cloud-based platform that facilitates data science education at scale by enabling instructors to offer hands-on data science assignments using large real-world datasets. Using real course assignments as examples, our demonstration will walk attendees through the process of an instructor deploying an assignment, students working on and submitting assignments, and leaderboard-based competition and automated grading to demonstrate the major functions and benefits of LiveDataLab.
