Learning gain differences between ChatGPT and human tutor generated algebra hints

no code implementations14 Feb 2023 Zachary A. Pardos, Shreya Bhandari

Learning gains from human-created hints were substantially and statistically significantly higher than ChatGPT hints in both topic areas, though ChatGPT participants in the Intermediate Algebra experiment were near ceiling and not even with the control at pre-test.

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.

Towards Equity and Algorithmic Fairness in Student Grade Prediction
