Sequence Matters, But How Do I Discover How? Towards a Workflow for Evaluating Activity Sequences from Data

چکیده
How should a wide variety of educational activities be sequenced in order to maximize student learning? We recently proposed the Sequencing Constraint Violation Analysis (SCOVA) method to help address this question. In this paper, we propose how SCOVA could be transformed into a workflow in LearnSphere so that other researchers and practitioners can find answers to the aforementioned question in their own datasets. We hope that such a workflow will lead to more and better research into this important question, as well as interesting new findings for both the educational data mining and learning sciences communities.
