Portnoff, Lucy; Gustafson, Erin; Rollinson, Joseph; Bicknell, Klinton – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Students using self-directed learning platforms, such as Duolingo, cannot be adequately assessed relying solely on responses to standard learning exercises due to a lack of control over learners' choices in how to utilize the platform: for example, how learners choose to sequence their studying and how much they choose to revisit old material.

Zhongdi Wu; Eric Larson; Makoto Sano; Doris Baker; Nathan Gage; Akihito Kamata – Grantee Submission, 2023
In this investigation we propose new machine learning methods for automated scoring models that predict the vocabulary acquisition in science and social studies of second grade English language learners, based upon free-form spoken responses. We evaluate performance on an existing dataset and use transfer learning from a large pre-trained language…

Mirzaei, Maryam Sadat; Meshgi, Kourosh – Research-publishing.net, 2022
This article introduces self-regulation features with Partial and Synchronized Caption (PSC) for practicing listening skills and fostering self-paced and autonomous learning. PSC generates a partial caption by focusing on acoustically and lexically difficult words and synchronizes each word's appearance with the speaker's speech. The aim is to…

Kim, Byungsoo; Yu, Hangyeol; Shin, Dongmin; Choi, Youngduck – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
The needs for precisely estimating a student's academic performance have been emphasized with an increasing amount of attention paid to Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). However, since labels for academic performance, such as test scores, are collected from outside of ITS, obtaining the labels is costly, leading to label-scarcity problem which…
