DDS Seminar
Data Science: Speeding up the Online learning curve
Monday 9 March 2015 – 9.30 to 14.00
Theaterzaal – Sports & Culture – TU Delft
Mekelweg 8-10, 2628 CD Delft
Delft Data Science (DDS) organizes a series of seminars. These seminars
address the challenges and opportunities emerging from large quantities of
heterogeneous, complex, networked and dynamic data influencing virtually
all socio-economic domains.
We aim to bring the main economic, industrial, societal and academic
stakeholders together to jointly discuss how to address the challenges and
optimally exploit the opportunities related to big data in the years to
come.
Speeding up the Online learning curve
Open & Online education is a growing force in higher education. Platforms
like EdX and Coursera offer a broad spectrum of Massive Open Online
Courses. How do we keep learners engaged throughout a course and how do we
assess if leaning goals have been achieved? The massive amount of data,
produced by learners inside and outside the Massive Open Online Courses and
the challenges for online assessment makes Online education a very
interesting field for data science research. In this DDS seminar we will
explore the research questions around learning analytics, gamification and
online assessment.
How can we build comprehensive learner models that provide fine-grained
insights into learners' abilities, motivations, behaviour, knowledge and
learning curves? For example a gaze-based indicator of students’ attention
in a MOOC video lecture is proposed to define “with-me-ness” at two levels:
perceptual, following teacher’s deictic acts; and conceptual, following
teacher discourse.
Experiences of gamification in the classroom give us food for thought for
the use of gamification in the online learning environment. How can we use
game-based learning to improve the learning outcomes?
Assessment in online courses is now often done by multiple choice tests,
but many instructors feel a need for automated assessment of “open”
answers, designs, programs or other student materials. How can we achieve
this?
Can natural language processing and machine learning methods enhance online
assignments and peer reviews?
Will you join us for speeding up the Online learning curve?
