چکیده
Recent research has suggested that differences between intelligent tutor lessons predict a large amount of the variance in the prevalence of gaming the system [4]. Within this paper, we investigate whether such differences also predict how much students choose to go off-task, and if so, which differences predict how much off-task behavior will occur. We utilize an enumeration of the differences between intelligent tutor lessons, the Cognitive Tutor Lesson Variation Space 1.1 (CTLVS1.1), to identify 79 differences between tutor lessons, within 20 lessons from an intelligent tutoring system for Algebra. We utilize a machine-learned detector of off-task behavior to predict 58 students’ off-task behavior within that tutor, in each lesson. Surprisingly, the best model predicting off-task behavior from lesson features contains only one feature: lessons that involve equation-solving. We discuss possible explanations for this finding, and further studies that could shed light on this relationship.

Data-Driven Education: Some opportunities and Challenges
A program of study can be viewed as a knowledge graph consisting of learning units and relationships between them. Such a knowledge graph provides the core data structure for organizing and navigating learning experiences. We address two issues in this talk. First, given a knowledge graph, how can we use data mining to identify and correct deficiencies in a knowledge graph. Second, how can we u...
