CONTEXTS
In higher education, the popularity of flipped and blended classrooms has increased the number of students learning through asynchronous, online educational technologies. It is important that these technologies support students’ cognitive and social engagement. In my collaboration with UBC and Microsoft, I have developed an analytic framework that classifies students’ level of cognitive engagement through their multidimensional clickstream data using unsupervised machine learning methods (e.g., self-organized mapping).
METHODS
- Analyzed clickstream big data using unsupervised machine learning methods (e.g., self-organized mapping)
- Designed an AI agent to identify the conceptually important aspects of a video and automatically generates relevant exam questions in order to test students’ understanding
- Tools: Deep learning
