Ma, Hua; Huang, Zhuoxuan; Tang, Wensheng; Zhu, Haibin; Zhang, Hongyu; Li, Jingze – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
To provide intelligent learning guidance for students in e-learning systems, it is necessary to accurately predict their performance in future exams by analyzing score data in past exams. However, existing research has not addressed the uncertain and dynamic features of students' cognitive status, whereas these features are essential for improving…

Baneres, David; Rodriguez-Gonzalez, M. Elena; Guerrero-Roldan, Ana Elena – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
Course dropout is a concern in online higher education, mainly in first-year courses when different factors negatively influence the learners' engagement leading to an unsuccessful outcome or even dropping out from the university. The early identification of such potential at-risk learners is the key to intervening and trying to help them before…

Hsu, Hao-Hsuan; Huang, Nen-Fu – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2022
This article introduces Xiao-Shih, the first intelligent question answering bot on Chinese-based massive open online courses (MOOCs). Question answering is critical for solving individual problems. However, instructors on MOOCs must respond to many questions, and learners must wait a long time for answers. To address this issue, Xiao-Shih…

Peralta, Montserrat; Alarcon, Rosa; Pichara, Karim E.; Mery, Tomas; Cano, Felipe; Bozo, Jorge – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2018
Educational resources can be easily found on the Web. Most search engines base their algorithms on a resource's text or popularity, requiring teachers to navigate the results until they find an appropriate resource. This makes searching for resources a tedious and cumbersome task. Specialized repositories contain resources that are annotated with…

Wan, Han; Zhong, Zihao; Tang, Lina; Gao, Xiaopeng – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
Small private online courses (SPOCs) have influenced teaching and learning in China's higher education. Learning management systems (LMSs) are important components in SPOCs. They can collect various data related to student behavior and support pedagogical interventions. This research used feature engineering and nearest neighbor smoothing models…

Whitehill, Jacob; Movellan, Javier – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2018
We propose a method of generating teaching policies for use in intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) for concept learning tasks [1], e.g., teaching students the meanings of words by showing images that exemplify their meanings à la Rosetta Stone [2] and Duo Lingo [3]. The approach is grounded in control theory and capitalizes on recent work by [4],…

Kaser, Tanja; Klingler, Severin; Schwing, Alexander G.; Gross, Markus – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2017
Intelligent tutoring systems adapt the curriculum to the needs of the individual student. Therefore, an accurate representation and prediction of student knowledge is essential. Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT) is a popular approach for student modeling. The structure of BKT models, however, makes it impossible to represent the hierarchy and…

Ueno, Maomi; Miyazawa, Yoshimitsu – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2018
Over the past few decades, many studies conducted in the field of learning science have described that scaffolding plays an important role in human learning. To scaffold a learner efficiently, a teacher should predict how much support a learner must have to complete tasks and then decide the optimal degree of assistance to support the learner's…

Sunar, Ayse Saliha; White, Su; Abdullah, Nor Aniza; Davis, Hugh C. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2017
In 2015, 35 million learners participated online in 4,200 MOOCs organized by over 500 universities. Learning designers orchestrate MOOC content to engage learners at scale and retain interest by carefully mixing videos, lectures, readings, quizzes, and discussions. Universally, far fewer people actually participate in MOOCs than originally sign up…
