ABSTRACT
In this paper, we present early research evaluating the predictive power of a variety of temporal features across student subpopulations with distinctive behaviors at the beginning of the course. Initial results illustrate that these features predict important differences across the subpopulations and over time in the courses. Ultimately, these results have implications for effectively targeting adaptive scaffolding tailored to the particular intentions and goals of subpopulations in MOOCs.

Predicting learning status in MOOCs using LSTM
ACM TURC '19: Proceedings of the ACM Turing Celebration Conference - ChinaReal-time and open online course resources of MOOCs have attracted a large number of learners in recent years. However, many new questions were emerging about the high dropout rate of learners. For MOOCs platform, predicting the learning status of MOOCs ...
Using learning analytics to explore help-seeking learner profiles in MOOCs
LAK '17: Proceedings of the Seventh International Learning Analytics & Knowledge ConferenceIn online learning environments, learners are often required to be more autonomous in their approach to learning. In scaled online learning environments, like Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), there are differences in the ability of learners to ...
