Revealing Networks: Understanding Effective Teacher Practices in AI-Supported Classrooms using Transmodal Ordered Network Analysis

1 code implementation17 Dec 2023 Conrad Borchers, Yeyu Wang, Shamya Karumbaiah, Muhammad Ashiq, David Williamson Shaffer, Vincent Aleven

Taken together, offering early conceptual support to students with low learning rates could make classroom practice with AI tutors more effective.

Using Think-Aloud Data to Understand Relations between Self-Regulation Cycle Characteristics and Student Performance in Intelligent Tutoring Systems

1 code implementation9 Dec 2023 Conrad Borchers, Jiayi Zhang, Ryan S. Baker, Vincent Aleven

We discuss system re-design opportunities to add SRL support during stages of processing and paths forward for using machine learning to speed research depending on the assessment of SRL based on transcription of think-aloud data.

Insights into undergraduate pathways using course load analytics

1 code implementation20 Dec 2022 Conrad Borchers, Zachary A. Pardos

Course load analytics (CLA) inferred from LMS and enrollment features can offer a more accurate representation of course workload to students than credit hours and potentially aid in their course selection decisions.
