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.","PeriodicalId":20693,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth (2019) ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88747458","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}

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.","PeriodicalId":20693,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth (2019) ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78781093","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 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.","PeriodicalId":20693,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth (2019) ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80434296","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}

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.","PeriodicalId":20693,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth (2019) ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86388539","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}

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.","PeriodicalId":20693,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth (2019) ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81920314","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}

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.","PeriodicalId":20693,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth (2019) ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale","volume":"300 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74410951","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}

Improper assessment of text input causes maladaptation in ITSs. Meta-assessment of user responses in ITSs can improve instruction efficacy and user satisfaction. Therefore, this paper evaluates the quality of semantic matching between user input and the expected response in AutoTutor, an ITS which holds a conversation with the user in natural language. AutoTutor's dialogue is driven by the AutoTutor Conversation Engine (ACE), which uses a combination of Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) and Regular Expressions (RegEx) to assess user input. We assessed ACE via responses from 219 Amazon Mechanical Turk users, who answered 118 electronics questions broken into 5202 response pairings (n = 5202). These analyses explore the relationship between RegEx and LSA, agreement between the two judges, and agreement between human judges and ACE. Additionally, we calculated precision and recall. As expected, regular expressions and LSA had a moderate, positive relationship, and the agreement between ACE and human was fair, but slightly lower than agreement between human.","PeriodicalId":20693,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth (2019) ACM Conference on Learning @ Scale","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90875556","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}
