Eye gaze tracking has recently become indispensable for domains like virtual reality, augmented reality, human-computer interaction and advertisement. The commercial eye gaze tracking equipment is too expensive to be used by the masses. In this manuscript, a non-invasive, low-resolution ordinary camera-based system has been proposed for tracking…

Knowledge tracing (KT) models have been a commonly used tool for tracking students' knowledge status. Recent advances in deep knowledge tracing (DKT) have demonstrated increased performance for knowledge tracing tasks in many datasets. However, interpreting students' states on single knowledge components (KCs) from DKT models could be challenging…

Students are the future of a nation. Personalizing student interests in higher education courses is one of the biggest challenges in higher education. Various AI and ML approaches have been used to study student behaviour. Existing AI and ML algorithms are used to identify features for various fields, such as behavioural analysis, economic…

Open education systems play a significant role in providing flexible and accessible learning opportunities to large student populations, independent of time and location. These systems achieve cost efficiency through the effective implementation of economies of scale, reducing unit costs as student numbers increase. However, decision-making in the…

Collaborative learning in tertiary education faces challenges such as limited teacher intervention and effective student pairing. This study addresses these issues by proposing a data-driven peer recommendation approach enhanced with learner profile visualisation. The system dynamically matches students based on evolving learning profiles, using…

Purpose: Research shows that postsecondary students are largely unaware of the impact of algorithms on their everyday lives. Also, most noncomputer science students are not being taught about algorithms as part of the regular curriculum. This exploratory, qualitative study aims to explore subject-matter experts' insights and perceptions of the…

Explain-in-Plain-English (EiPE) questions are used by some researchers and educators to assess code reading skills. EiPE questions require students to briefly explain (in plain English) the purpose of a given piece of code, without restating what the code does line-by-line. The premise is that novices who can explain the purpose of a piece of code…

University Examination Timetabling Problem is the most important combinational problem to develop a conflict-free timetable to execute all of the exams in and with the limited timeslots and other resources for universities, colleges or schools. It is also an important Nondeterministic Polynomial Time (NP)-hard problem that has no deterministic…

This study aims to develop a comprehensive competency framework for artificial intelligence (AI) literacy, delineating essential competencies and sub-competencies. This framework and its potential variations, tailored to different learner groups (by educational level and discipline), can serve as a crucial reference for designing and implementing…

Knowledge Tracing (KT) models predicting student performance in intelligent tutoring systems have been successfully deployed in several educational domains. However, their usage in open-ended programming problems poses multiple challenges due to the complexity of the programming code and a complex interplay between syntax and logic requirements…

This study investigated the effect of video lecture types on the performance of students in computational problem-solving practices. A total of 19 university students participated in the computational problem-solving practices that mostly required declarative knowledge, and 22 university students participated in the computational problem-solving…

In the context of college physical education curriculum reform, fostering students' interest and promoting lifelong physical exercise have become crucial. Aerobics, an integral component of physical education, plays a key role in achieving these objectives. However, existing data flow analysis technologies lack integration, limiting their ability…

The rapid advancement of digital technologies is prompting a necessary shift in traditional educational models, particularly in finance education. This study introduces the "Multi-Dimensional Situated Learning Model" (MD-SLM), which is rooted in constructivist theory and aims to enhance teaching strategies in university finance courses.…

In this study, we introduced a cross-classified multidimensional nominal response model (CC-MNRM) to account for various response styles (RS) in the presence of cross-classified data. The proposed model allows slopes to vary across items and can explore impacts of observed covariates on latent constructs. We applied a recently developed variant of…

This article examines the work of predictive analytics in shaping the social worlds in which they thrive, and in particular the world of the first year of Great State University's student success initiative. Specifically, this article investigates the following research paradox: predictive analytics, as driven by a logic premised on predicting the…
