Academic Activities Recommendation System for Sustainable Education in the Age of COVID-19

Abstract

Currently, universities are going through a critical moment due to the coronavirus disease in 2019. To prevent its spread, countries have declared quarantines and isolation in all sectors of society. This has caused many problems in the learning of students, since, when moving from a face-to-face educational model to a remote model, several academic factors such as psychological, financial, and methodological have been overlooked. To exactly identify the variables and causes that affect learning, in this work a data analysis model using a Hadoop framework is proposed. By processing the data, it is possible to identify and classify students to determine the problems they present in different learning activities. The results are used by an artificial intelligence system that takes student information and converts it into knowledge, evaluates the academic performance problems they present, and determines what type of activity aligns with the students. The artificial intelligence system processes the information and recommends activities that focus on each student’s abilities and needs. The integration of these systems to universities creates an adaptive educational model that responds to the new challenges of society.

Revolutionizing education with AI: Exploring the transformative potential of ChatGPT

“…With the close monitoring and the ability to predict students' performance (Akmese at al., 2021), AI technologies facilitate administrative roles as they are of use when addressing student disengagement and effectively reducing student dropout rates (Karsenti, 2019;Villegas-Ch et al, 2021) because such early warning systems based on long-term datasets facilitate prediction and identifying risks (Brown et al, 2020). Furthermore, AI technologies can replace a significant amount of repetitive work, reducing the workload of teachers and administrators (Chan & Zary, 2019).…”

“…The usage of association rules mining allowed us to answer these questions. Applying this and other data mining methods in education remains relevant and has enough use-cases ( Villegas-Ch et al 2021 ; Walsh et al 2022 ).…”

Open-Loop Neuroadaptive System for Enhancing Student’s Cognitive Abilities in Learning

“…Decision support aspect of our proposed system is also very important. There were some attempts in development of various decision support systems for education, including artificial intelligence-based ones [93], [94], yet we couldn't find a direct analog to our system that would consider subject's features of cognitive development as well as personal preferences.…”
