Predicting students’ performance in e-learning using learning process and behaviour data

Abstract

E-learning is achieved by the deep integration of modern education and information technology, and plays an important role in promoting educational equity. With the continuous expansion of user groups and application areas, it has become increasingly important to effectively ensure the quality of e-learning. Currently, one of the methods to ensure the quality of e-learning is to use mutually independent e-learning behaviour data to build a learning performance predictor to achieve real-time supervision and feedback during the learning process. However, this method ignores the inherent correlation between e-learning behaviours. Therefore, we propose the behaviour classification-based e-learning performance (BCEP) prediction framework, which selects the features of e-learning behaviours, uses feature fusion with behaviour data according to the behaviour classification model to obtain the category feature values of each type of behaviour, and finally builds a learning performance predictor based on machine learning. In addition, because existing e-learning behaviour classification methods do not fully consider the process of learning, we also propose an online behaviour classification model based on the e-learning process called the process-behaviour classification (PBC) model. Experimental results with the Open University Learning Analytics Dataset (OULAD) show that the learning performance predictor based on the BCEP prediction framework has a good prediction effect, and the performance of the PBC model in learning performance prediction is better than traditional classification methods. We construct an e-learning performance predictor from a new perspective and provide a new solution for the quantitative evaluation of e-learning classification methods.

Educational strategies used in interventions on violence against the elderly: Integrative review of literature

“…Os estudos A9 e A12 trabalham com o ensino online, apresentando a viabilidade de ensino sistematizado e em módulos de aprendizagem sobre a violência contra a pessoa idosa. Os treinamentos on-line ou e-learning são realizados pela integração dos conhecimentos de educação e tecnologia da informação, e a sua utilização vem proporcionando maior equidade educacional (Qiu et al, 2022).…”

AI-Based Personalized E-Learning Systems: Issues, Challenges, and Solutions

“…Sustainable personalized learning can be accomplished through continuous analysis of data relating to assessments, user interaction, and learning behavior. Certain characteristics, such as learning style [122] [123] [124], knowledge level [125] [126], performance/score [127], learning goal [128], and learner profile [34], can provide insightful feedback for the learner's journey that derives the individualized learning paths [129] . Meta cognitive evaluation of an individual's learning can greatly encourage learner to further progress in any learning environment.…”

The role of demographic and academic features in a student performance prediction

“…The results showed that the subjects of the 1st and 3rd semesters had strong relationship with final CGPA. Based on existing e-learning methods, behavior classification based E-learning Performance (BCEP) model and process behaviour classification (PBC) model were proposed by 23 . The experiments were conducted on Open University Learning Analytics Dataset (OULAD) to predict e-learning performance and the results showed that the proposed models were performed better than the traditional methods.…”
