Crowdsourcing a Personalized Learning Environment for Mathematics
نویسنده
چکیده
Can we build a semantically adaptive personal learning environment that helps people learn mathematics and that meets reasonable criteria for sustainable growth and development? This is question that applies at the interface between participatory social media and interactive, adaptive, “knowledge media”. Ten years ago, no one had heard of Wikipedia. Perhaps in another ten, P2PU will be as popular as my home institution, The Open University. A wide range of stakeholders in education are surely curious to know why, or why not, and what this may mean for their careers. Aside from the possible social significance of the question, I anticipate that the personal learning environment (PLE) approach will provide an interesting stream of use data, including implicit and explicit information about how people learn mathematics. This opportunity to look in detail at learning behaviour in open, online, participatory, educational spaces is quite new. My project will combine socio-cultural analysis, technical development work, and datamining techniques to help support both individualized learning and ongoing system development.

Personalized Classifier Ensemble Pruning Framework for Mobile Crowdsourcing
Ensemble learning has been widely employed by mobile applications, ranging from environmental sensing to activity recognitions. One of the fundamental issue in ensemble learning is the trade-off between classification accuracy and computational costs, which is the goal of ensemble pruning. During crowdsourcing, the centralized aggregator releases ensemble learning models to a large number of mo...

We investigated the feasibility of crowdsourcing fullfledged tutorial videos from ordinary people on the Web on how to solve math problems related to logarithms. This kind of approach (a form of learnersourcing [10, 12]) to efficiently collecting tutorial videos and other learning resources could be useful for realizing personalized learning-at-scale, whereby students receive specific learning ...

Higher education faces dual challenges to reduce expenditures and improve learning outcomes through faster graduation rates. These challenges can be met through a personalized learning system (PLS) that employs techniques from previous successful instructional designs. Based on social learning theory, the PLS combines a dynamic menu that tracks individual topic mastery with a social communicati...
متن کاملBuilding A Personalized Tourist Attraction Recommender System Using Crowdsourcing (Demonstration)
We demonstrate how crowdsourcing can be used to automatically build a personalized tourist attraction recommender system, which tailors recommendations to specific individuals, so different people who use the system each get their own list of recommendations, appropriate to their own traits. Recommender systems crucially depend on the availability of reliable and large scale data that allows pr...
متن کاملPerform Three Data Mining Tasks with Crowdsourcing Process
For data mining studies, because of the complexity of doing feature selection process in tasks by hand, we need to send some of labeling to the workers with crowdsourcing activities. The process of outsourcing data mining tasks to users is often handled by software systems without enough knowledge of the age or geography of the users' residence. Uncertainty about the performance of virtual user...
