Valentina Albano; Donatella Firmani; Luigi Laura; Jerin George Mathew; Anna Lucia Paoletti; Irene Torrente – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2023
Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are widely used in educational assessments and professional certification exams. Managing large repositories of MCQs, however, poses several challenges due to the high volume of questions and the need to maintain their quality and relevance over time. One of these challenges is the presence of questions that…

Héctor J. Pijeira-Díaz; Shashank Subramanya; Janneke van de Pol; Anique de Bruin – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: When learning causal relations, completing causal diagrams enhances students' comprehension judgements to some extent. To potentially boost this effect, advances in natural language processing (NLP) enable real-time formative feedback based on the automated assessment of students' diagrams, which can involve the correctness of both the…

Zheng, Lanqin; Long, Miaolang; Chen, Bodong; Fan, Yunchao – International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2023
Online collaborative learning is implemented extensively in higher education. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to help learners achieve high-level group performance, knowledge elaboration, and socially shared regulation in online collaborative learning. To cope with these challenges, this study proposes and evaluates a novel automated…

Xu, Jia; Wei, Tingting; Lv, Pin – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2022
In an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS), problem (or question) difficulty is one of the most critical parameters, directly impacting problem design, test paper organization, result analysis, and even the fairness guarantee. However, it is very difficult to evaluate the problem difficulty by organized pre-tests or by expertise, because these…

Lämsä, Joni; Uribe, Pablo; Jiménez, Abelino; Caballero, Daniela; Hämäläinen, Raija; Araya, Roberto – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2021
Scholars have applied automatic content analysis to study computer-mediated communication in computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). Since CSCL also takes place in face-to-face interactions, we studied the automatic coding accuracy of manually transcribed face-to-face communication. We conducted our study in an authentic higher-education…

Hernández-Lara, Ana Beatriz; Perera-Lluna, Alexandre; Serradell-López, Enric – Education & Training, 2021
Purpose: With the growth of digital education, students increasingly interact in a variety of ways. The potential effects of these interactions on their learning process are not fully understood and the outcomes may depend on the tool used. This study explores the communication patterns and learning effectiveness developed by students using two…

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…
