Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate an efficient means of estimating the ability of students solving problems in the computer- based learning environment.
Design/methodology/approach – Item response theory (IRT) and TrueSkill were …
This study investigated whether clustering can identify different groups of students enrolled in a massive open online course (MOOC). This study applied self-organizing map and hierarchical clustering algorithms to the log files of a physics MOOC …
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop a quantitative model of problem solving performance of students in the computer-based mathematics learning environment.
Design/methodology/approach – Regularized logistic regression was used to …
This study investigates whether Support Vector Machine (SVM) can be used to predict the problem solving performance of students in the computer-based learning environment. The SVM models using RBF, linear, polynomial and sigmoid kernels were …
This paper presents a computational method that can efficiently estimate the ability of students from the log files of a Web-based learning environment capturing their problem solving processes. The computational method developed in this study …
VisSearch is a collaborative Web searching environment intended for sharing Web search results among people with similar interests, such as college students taking the same course. It facilitates students' Web searches by visualizing various Web …
Although it has become very common to use World Wide Web‐based information in many educational settings, there has been little research on how to better search and organize Web‐based information. This paper discusses the shortcomings of Web search …
The purpose of this tudy is to investigate whether the use of extensible external representations can improve the efficiency of Web search processes for open-ended questions. An experimental Web search environment capable of visually representing Web …
