  • How Students Use Learning Analytics Dashboards in Higher Education: A Learning Performance Perspective

    Developed to maximize learning performance, learning analytics dashboards (LAD) are becoming increasingly commonplace in education. An LAD’s effectiveness depends on how it is used and varies according to users’ academic levels. In this study, two LADs and a learning support system were used in a higher education course to support students’ cognitive and self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies. A total of 54 students’ learning logs on three systems and their learning performance scores were collected; descriptive statistics of learning behaviors, Mann-Whitney U test, and lag sequential analysis were used to explore how students with different learning performances used LADs to support their learning. Compared to low-performers, high-performers used the LADs more frequently during preview and review phases and conducted more monitoring and reflection strategies to support their learning. Finally, some practical implications for improving the design and use of LADs were provided.

    Abstract

    In this paper, we propose a cross-language font style transfer system that can synthesize a new font by observing only a few samples from another language. Automatic font synthesis is a challenging task and has attracted much research interest. Most previous works addressed this problem by transferring the style of the given subset to the content of unseen ones. Nevertheless, they only focused on the font style transfer in the same language. In many cases, we need to learn font style from one language and then apply it to other languages. Existing methods make this difficult to accomplish because of the abstraction of style and language differences. To address this problem, we specifically designed the network into a multi-level attention form to capture both local and global features of the font style. To validate the generative ability of our model, we constructed an experimental font dataset of 847 fonts, each containing English and Chinese characters with the same style. Results show that our model generates 80.3% of users’ preferred images compared with state-of-the-art models.

  • Exploring jump back behavior patterns and reasons in e-book system

    With the increasing use of digital learning materials in higher education, the accumulated operational log data provide a unique opportunity to analyzing student learning behaviors and their effects on student learning performance to understand how students learn with e-books. Among the students’ reading behaviors interacting with e-book systems, we find that jump-back is a frequent and informative behavior type. In this paper, we aim to understand the student’s intention for a jump-back using user learning log data on the e-book materials of a course in our university. We at first formally define the “jump-back” behaviors that can be detected from the click event stream of slide reading and then systematically study the behaviors from different perspectives on the e-book event stream data. Finally, by sampling 22 learning materials, we identify six reading activity patterns that can explain jump backs. Our analysis provides an approach to enriching the understanding of e-book learning behaviors and informs design implications for e-book systems.

  • Exploration and Explanation: An Interactive Course Recommendation System for University Environments

    The abundance of courses available in university and the highly personalized curriculum is often overwhelming for students who must select courses relevant to their academic interests. A large body of research in course recommendation systems focuses on optimizing prediction and improving accuracy. However, those systems usually afford little or no user interaction, and little is known about the influence of user-perceived aspects for course recommendations, such as transparency, controllability, and user satisfaction. In this paper, we argue that involving students in the course recommendation process is important, and we present an interactive course recommendation system that provides explanations and allows students to explore courses in a personalized way. A within-subject user study was conducted to evaluate our system and the results show a significant improvement in many user-centric metrics.

  • Factors of the use of learning analytics dashboard that affect metacognition

    © 2020 17th International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in Digital Age, CELDA 2020. All rights reserved. In this study, we used a learning analytics dashboard (LAD) in a higher education course to support students' metacognition and evaluated the effects of its use. The LAD displays students' reading path and specific behaviors when viewing digital learning materials. The study was conducted on 53 university students to identify the factors that affected metacognition changes in terms of their awareness and behavior dimensions when using the LAD. In terms of results, first, the students' perception of visual attraction for the LAD, and behaviors related to reflection such as deleting annotations they had previously added, positively affected the changes in the knowledge of cognition dimension of metacognition. Second, students' perception of behavioral changes by using the LAD had positive effects on the regulation of cognition dimension of metacognition. However, the behaviors of using some cognitive tools, negatively affected knowledge of cognition, which indicated the necessity to provide more guidance or feedback to students.
