Campbell, Rebecca; Blankenship, Benjamin – To Improve the Academy, 2021
Institutions are redesigning gateway courses--lower-division courses known to create student success bottlenecks--to influence persistence and completion goals. These initiatives, student success course redesigns (SSCR), are specialized versions of course design institutes (CDIs). This investigation into SSCRs uses content analysis to examine the…

At Georgia State University (GSU), like at most other institutions, corequisite courses must be taken simultaneously--the information in one is necessary to the full understanding of the other. However, the corequisite pairing describe in this article has a unique history; GSU 1010 course, part of the larger Freshman Learning experience, was…

Li, Jiawei; Supraja, S.; Qiu, Wei; Khong, Andy W. H. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
Academic grades in assessments are predicted to determine if a student is at risk of failing a course. Sequential models or graph neural networks that have been employed for grade prediction do not consider relationships between course descriptions. We propose the use of text mining to extract semantic, syntactic, and frequency-based features from…

Pardos, Zachary A.; Horodyskyj, Lev – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2019
We introduce a novel approach to visualizing temporal clickstream behaviour in the context of a degree-satisfying online course, "Habitable Worlds," offered through Arizona State University. The current practice for visualizing behaviour within a digital learning environment is to generate plots based on hand-engineered or coded features…

Scullin, Michael K. – Teaching of Psychology, 2019
Many students and educators know that sleep is important to learning, yet there exists a gap between their knowledge and behavior. For example, fewer than 10% of students sleep 8 hr before final exams. In the context of two undergraduate courses on sleep (N = 34), students could earn extra credit if they averaged =8.0 hr of sleep during final…
