Evaluating Educational Videos using Bayesian Knowledge Tracing and Big Data

چکیده
Along with the advent of MOOCs and other online learning platforms such as Khan Academy, the role of online education has continued to grow in relation to that of traditional on-campus instruction. Rather than tackle the problem of evaluating large educational units such as entire online courses, this paper approaches a smaller problem: exploring a framework for evaluating more granular educational units, in this case, short educational videos. We have chosen to leverage an adaptation of traditional Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (BKT), intended to incorporate the usage of video content in addition to assessment activity. By exploring the change in predictive error when alternately including or omitting video activity, we suggest a metric for determining the relevance of videos to associated assessments. To validate our hypothesis and demonstrate the application of our proposed methods we use data obtained from both the popular Khan Academy website and two MOOCs offered by Stanford University in the summer of 2014.

With the popularity of MOOCs and other online learning platforms such as Khan Academy, the role of online education has continued to increase in relation to that of traditional on-campus instruction. At the same time, the need for analytical methods suited for the uniquely large and diverse populations that they serve has grown apace. In particular, as instructors and creators of online educati...

Knowledge Tracing is perhaps the most widely used student model in the field of educational data mining. In this paper we report on the effects of using only a subset of data in training the Bayesian Network that represents this student model. The standard practice is to use all of the students’ data for a given skill to fit the model. We analyze two datasets; one from the Algebra Cognitive tut...

In the field of educational data mining, there are competing methods for predicting student performance. One involves building complex models, such as Bayesian networks with Knowledge Tracing (KT), or using logistic regression with Performance Factors Analysis (PFA). However, Wang and Heffernan showed that a raw data approach can be applied successfully to educational data mining with their res...
متن کاملAn Approachable Analytical Study on Big Educational Data Mining
The persistent growth of data in education continues. More institutes now store terabytes and even petabytes of educational data. Data complexity in education is increasing as people store both structured data in relational format and unstructured data such as Word or PDF files, images, videos and geo-spatial data. Indeed learning developers, universities, and other educational sectors confirm ...
