Curriculum pacing: A new approach to discover instructional practices in classrooms

This paper examines the use of “pacing plots” to represent variations in student learning sequences within a digital curriculum. Pacing plots are an intuitive and flexible data visualizations that have a potential for revealing the diversity of blended classroom instructional models. By using curriculum pacing plots, we identified several...

EdOptimize–An Open-Source K-12 Learning Analytics Platform

Technology aided learning is becoming increasingly popular. In some of the countries, online learning has taken over for traditional classroom-based learning.

Music identification using brain responses to initial snippets

Naturalistic music typically contains repetitive musical patterns that are present throughout the song. These patterns form a signature, enabling effortless song recognition. We investigate whether neural responses corresponding to these repetitive patterns also serve as a signature, enabling recognition of later song segments on learning...

Equitable Access to Intelligent Tutoring Systems Through Paper-Digital Integration

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) can only respond adaptively to the digital learning activities of the students. If students are learning offline without any digital devices, they have little or no means to receive personalized learning materials with the help of intelligent systems. This paper proposes a Paper-Digital Integration System...

Improving mathematics assessment readability: Do large language models help?

Background: Readability metrics provide us with an objective and efficient way to assess the quality of educational texts. We can use the readability measures for finding assessment items that are difficult to read for a given grade level. Hard-to-read math word problems can put some students at a disadvantage if they are behind in their...
