Automated Educative Nudges to Reduce Missed Assignments in College
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Motz, Benjamin A.; Mallon, Matthew G.; Quick, Joshua D. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2021
As institutions of higher education increasingly utilize online learning management systems, college students are asked to submit more assignments online. Under this regime, when most assignments are posted and submitted online, it is possible to know if a student is missing a submission for an imminent deadline, and to intervene proactively to…

Chad C. Tossell; Nathan L. Tenhundfeld; Ali Momen; Katrina Cooley; Ewart J. de Visser – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
This article examined student experiences before and after an essay writing assignment that required the use of ChatGPT within an undergraduate engineering course. Utilizing a pre-post study design, we gathered data from 24 participants to evaluate ChatGPT's support for both completing and grading an essay assignment, exploring its educational…

Conejo, Ricardo; Barros, Beatriz; Bertoa, Manuel F. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2019
This paper presents an innovative method to tackle the automatic evaluation of programming assignments with an approach based on well-founded assessment theories (Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT)) instead of heuristic assessment as in other systems. CTT and/or IRT are used to grade the results of different items of…

Liu, Ming; Calvo, Rafael A.; Pardo, Abelardo; Martin, Andrew – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2015
Engagement is critical to the success of learning activities such as writing, and can be promoted with appropriate feedback. Current engagement measures rely mostly on data collected by observers or self-reported by the participants. In this paper, we describe a learning analytic system called Tracer, which derives behavioral engagement measures…

A Web-Based Visualization and Animation Platform for Digital Logic Design
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Shoufan, Abdulhadi; Lu, Zheng; Huss, Sorin A. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2015
This paper presents a web-based education platform for the visualization and animation of the digital logic design process. This includes the design of combinatorial circuits using logic gates, multiplexers, decoders, and look-up-tables as well as the design of finite state machines. Various configurations of finite state machines can be selected…

E-Assessment as a Service
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Amelung, M.; Krieger, K.; Rosner, D. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2011
Assessment is an essential element in learning processes. It is therefore not unsurprising that almost all learning management systems (LMSs) offer support for assessment, e.g., for the creation, execution, and evaluation of multiple choice tests. We have designed and implemented generic support for assessment that is based on assignments that…
