Keeping the Teacher in the Loop: Technologies for Monitoring Group Learning in Real-Time
نویسندگان
چکیده
Learning in groups allows students to develop academic and social competencies but requires the presence of a human teacher that is actively guiding the group. In this paper we combine data-mining and visualization tools to support teachers’ understanding of learners activities in an inquiry based learning environment. We use supervised learning to recognize salient states of activity in the group’s work, such as reaching a solution to a problem, exhibiting idleness, or experiencing technical challenges. These “critical” moments are visualized to teachers in real time, allowing them to monitor several groups in parallel and to intervene when necessary to guide the group. We embedded this technology in a new system, called SAGLET, which augments existing collaborative educational software and was evaluated empirically in real classrooms. We show that the recognition capabilities of SAGLET are compatible with that of a human domain expert. Teachers were able to use the system successfully to make intervention decisions in groups when deemed necessary, without overwhelming them with information. Our results demonstrate how AI can be used to augment existing educational environments to support the “teacher in the group”, and to scale up the benefits of group learning to the actual classroom.

Proposed new signal for real-time stress monitoring: Combination of physiological measures
Human stress is a physiological tension that appears when a person responds to mental, emotional, or physical chal-lenges. Detecting human stress and developing methods to manage it, has become an important issue nowadays. Au-tomatic stress detection through physiological signals may be a useful method for solving this problem. In most of the earlier studies, long-term time window was considere...

متن کاملCycle Time Optimization of Processes Using an Entropy-Based Learning for Task Allocation
Cycle time optimization could be one of the great challenges in business process management. Although there is much research on this subject, task similarities have been paid little attention. In this paper, a new approach is proposed to optimize cycle time by minimizing entropy of work lists in resource allocation while keeping workloads balanced. The idea of the entropy of work lists comes fr...
