Pedagogical monitoring as a tool to reduce dropout in distance learning in family health
BACKGROUND This paper presents the results of a study of the Monsys monitoring system, an educational support tool designed to prevent and control the dropout rate in a distance learning course in family health. Developed by UNA-SUS/UFMA, Monsys was created to enable data mining in the virtual learning environment known as Moodle. METHODS This is an exploratory study using documentary and bib...
متن کاملPreventing Student Dropout in Distance Learning Using Machine Learning Techniques
Student dropout occurs quite often in universities providing distance education. The scope of this research is to study whether the usage of machine learning techniques can be useful in dealing with this problem. Subsequently, an attempt was made to identifying the most appropriate learning algorithm for the prediction of students' dropout. A number of experiments have taken place with data pro...
متن کاملUsing Web-Based Distance Learning to Reduce Cultural Distance
In recent years, Web-based distance learning (WBDL) systems have become a popular learning environment for many western learners. While it has been established as an effective learning alternative, WBDL is not flourishing in Hong Kong as expected. This paper proposes that this is because Hong Kong students are not trained to learn independently and actively, as required in distance learning. Tr...
متن کاملDISCUSSION PAPER—DO NOT CIRCULATE Reforming High Schools to Reduce Dropout Rates
1 Improving the nation's high school graduation rate has remained an elusive goal for many years. In 1990 the nation's governors and the President of the United States adopted six national education goals, including increasing the high school graduation rate to 90 percent and eliminating the gap in high school graduation rates between minority and non-minority students by the year 2000 (U.S. De...
متن کاملAdaptive Dropout Rates for Learning with Corrupted Features
Feature noising is an effective mechanism on reducing the risk of overfitting. To avoid an explosive searching space, existing work typically assumes that all features share a single noise level, which is often cross-validated. In this paper, we present a Bayesian feature noising model that flexibly allows for dimension-specific or group-specific noise levels, and we derive a learning algorithm...
