Liu, Chengyuan; Cui, Jialin; Shang, Ruixuan; Xiao, Yunkai; Jia, Qinjin; Gehringer, Edward – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
An online peer-assessment system typically allows students to give textual feedback to their peers, with the goal of helping the peers improve their work. The amount of help that students receive is highly dependent on the quality of the reviews. Previous studies have investigated using machine learning to detect characteristics of reviews (e.g.,…

Lundqvist, Karsten Ø.; Liyanagunawardena, Tharindu; Starkey, Louise – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2020
Many course designers trying to evaluate the experience of participants in a MOOC will find it difficult to track and analyse the online actions and interactions of students because there may be thousands of learners enrolled in courses that sometimes last only a few weeks. This study explores the use of automated sentiment analysis in assessing…

Charlotte N. Gunawardena; Yan Chen; Nick Flor; Damien Sánchez – Online Learning, 2023
Gunawardena et al.'s (1997) Interaction Analysis Model (IAM) is one of the most frequently employed frameworks to guide the qualitative analysis of social construction of knowledge online. However, qualitative analysis is time consuming, and precludes immediate feedback to revise online courses while being delivered. To expedite analysis with a…

Michalenko, Joshua J.; Lan, Andrew S.; Waters, Andrew E.; Grimaldi, Philip J.; Baraniuk, Richard G. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2017
An important, yet largely unstudied problem in student data analysis is to detect "misconceptions" from students' responses to "open-response" questions. Misconception detection enables instructors to deliver more targeted feedback on the misconceptions exhibited by many students in their class, thus improving the quality of…
