Leveraging the ``burstiness\" factor of three of the most commonly exhibited interaction forms made possible by online learning (i.e, video lecture viewing, coursework access and discussion forum posting), we take on the task of predicting student performance (operationalized as grade) across these courses. Specifically, we utilize the probabilistic framework of Conditional Random Fields (CRF) to formalize the problem of predicting the sequence of grades achieved by a student in different MOOCs, taking into account the contextual dependency of this outcome measure on students' general interaction trend across courses. Based on a comparative analysis of the combination of interaction features, our best CRF model can achieve a precision of 0.581, recall of 0.660 and a weighted F-score of 0.560, outweighing several baseline discriminative classifiers applied at each sequence position. These findings have implications for initiating early instructor intervention, so as to engage students along less active interaction dimensions that could be associated with low grades.","PeriodicalId":20664,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Second (2015) ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74543506","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}

In both Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and large residential courses, such feedback is difficult to provide for each student individually. To multiply the instructor's leverage, we would like to group student submissions according to the general problem-solving strategy they used, as the first stage of a ``feedback pipeline''. We describe ongoing explorations of a variety of clustering algorithms and similarity metrics using a corpus of over 800 student submissions to a simple programming assignment from a programming MOOC. We find that for a majority of submissions, it is possible to automatically create clusters such that an instructor ``eyeballing'' some representative submissions from each cluster can readily describe qualitatively what the common elements are in student submissions in that cluster. This information can be the basis for feedback to the students or for comparing one group of students' approach with another's.","PeriodicalId":20664,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Second (2015) ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85987787","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}

Such tutors have the potential to provide tailored feedback based on specific student needs and misunderstandings. Bayesian knowledge tracing (BKT) is used to model student knowledge when knowledge is assumed to be changing throughout a single assessment period; in contrast, traditional Item Response Theory (IRT) models assume student knowledge to be constant within an assessment period. The basic BKT model assumes that the chance a student transitions from \"not knowing\" to \"knowing\" after each item is the same, and problems are considered learning opportunities. It could be the case, however, that learning is actually context sensitive, where students' learning might be improved when the items and their associated tutoring content are delivered to the student in a particular order. In this paper, we use BKT models to find such context sensitive transition probabilities from real data delivered by an online tutoring system, ASSISTments. After empirically deriving orderings that lead to better learning, we qualitatively analyze the items and their tutoring content to uncover any mechanisms that might explain why such orderings are modeled to have higher learning potential.","PeriodicalId":20664,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Second (2015) ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale","volume":"175 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82965108","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}
