Learning analytics is an emerging trend in American community colleges brought about by technological advancements, institutional accountability, and external pressure on institutions to substantiate and improve learning. Learning analytics can potentially improve student engagement, retention, and success but also possess inherent ethical and…

Digital learning environments are becoming increasingly ubiquitous as a wide range of EdTech products and services enter classrooms and households across the globe. One salient attribute of these environments is their capacity to generate large amounts of data as students interact with the technology. These data logs can help construct a detailed…

This work focuses on simulation, design, development, and evaluation of a visual Learning Analytics (LA) tool -- Real-time Educational AI-powered Classroom Tool (REACT) -- to support educators' data-driven decision-making. The educational institutions face one of the biggest challenges, such as predicting student performance, detecting undesirable…

The problem addressed in this study is that the potential roles of an artificial intelligence-enhanced chatbot using big data in e-learning in higher education were not widely documented in the research community. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore the potential roles of an artificial intelligence-enhanced chatbot using big…

Dialogue act (DA) classification plays an important role in understanding, interpreting and modeling dialogue. Dialogue acts (DAs) represent the intended meaning of an utterance, which is associated with the illocutionary force (or the speaker's intention), such as greetings, questions, requests, statements, and agreements. In natural language…

Electronic virtual patients (VPs) are interactive screen-based computer simulations of real-life clinical scenarios that are widely used for the purposes of health sciences education. Advances in computational modeling and availability of large patient cohort datasets from Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems have created an opportunity to…

Response to intervention, direct instruction, and data-based decision-making are all effective teaching practices that can impact student math performance. When educational technology is implemented in classroom settings, it can address both the needs of teachers and students. However, there is little information detailing how educational…
