Ma, Yingbo; Katuka, Gloria Ashiya; Celepkolu, Mehmet; Boyer, Kristy Elizabeth – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Collaborative learning is a complex process during which two or more learners exchange opinions, construct shared knowledge, and solve problems together. While engaging in this interactive process, learners' satisfaction toward their partners plays a crucial role in defining the success of the collaboration. If intelligent systems could predict…

Bihani, Ankita; Paepcke, Andreas – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2018
We develop a random forest classifier that helps assign academic credit for a student's class forum participation. The classification target are the four classes created by student rank quartiles. Course content experts provided ground truth by ranking a limited number of post pairs. We expand this labeled set via data augmentation. We compute the…

Reilly, Joseph M.; Schneider, Bertrand – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
Collaborative problem solving in computer-supported environments is of critical importance to the modern workforce. Coworkers or collaborators must be able to co-create and navigate a shared problem space using discourse and non-verbal cues. Analyzing this discourse can give insights into how consensus is reached and can estimate the depth of…

Sullivan, Florence R.; Keith, P. Kevin; Wilson, Nicholas C. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
This study investigates how students who are peripherally positioned in computer science-based, collaborative group work meaningfully engage with the group activity in order to learn. Our research took place in the context of a one-day, all-girl robotics workshop. This work proceeds from the premise that learning about programming is mediated most…
