In this work, we explore video lecture interaction in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which is central to student learning experience on these educational platforms. As a research contribution, we operationalize video lecture clickstreams of students into cognitively plausible higher level behaviors, and construct a quantitative information processing index, which can aid instructors to be...

BACKGROUND Dropouts in IVF-programmes affect cumulative pregnancy rates (CPRs), but it is unknown what the impact of loss to follow-up is. METHODS Data were obtained from 588 couples starting IVF treatment ('as treated group'). Cycle-based and real-time-based CPRs were calculated using three assumptions for dropouts: dropouts having no probability of pregnancy, dropouts having the same probab...

With an expansive and ubiquitously available gold mine of educational data, Massive Open Online courses (MOOCs) have become the an important foci of learning analytics research. The hope is that this new surge of development will bring the vision of equitable access to lifelong learning opportunities within practical reach. MOOCs offer many valuable learning experiences to students, from video ...

Against a backdrop of dominant deficit, victim-blaming and class/colourblind theories unequal educational transitions higher education outcomes, this article analyses thematically in-depth narrative interviews with Black working class “dropouts” in South African to explore how group former students narrate make sense their journeys accounts could strengthen efforts achieve just equitable experi...

Interactive computing systems frequently use pointing as an input modality, while also supporting other forms of input. We focus on pointing and investigate the effects of variations, i.e. jitter, in the input device latency, as well as dropouts, on 2D pointing speed and accuracy. First, we characterize the latency, latency jitter, and dropouts in several common input technologies. Then we pres...

Psychological group treatments, such as behavioral or cognitive-behavioral therapy, are generally effective interventions for social phobia. However, a substantial number of individuals discontinue these treatments prematurely. Participant attrition can threaten the validity of treatment outcome studies if attrition during therapy does not occur randomly. In order to examine this issue, we stud...

Studies of student risk of school dropout have shown that current predictors of “at-risk” status do not accurately identify a large percentage of students who eventually dropout. Through the analysis of the entire grade 1-12 longitudinal cohort-based grading histories of the class of 2006 for two school districts in the United States, this study extends past longitudinal conceptions of dropout ...

Wisconsin’s influential Learnfare initiative is a conditional cash penalty program that sanctions a family’s welfare grant when covered teens fail to meet school attendance targets. In the presence of reference-dependent preferences, Learnfare provides uniquely powerful financial incentives for student performance. However, a 10-county random-assignment evaluation suggested that Learnfare had n...
