Incorporating non-verbal data streams is essential to understanding the dynamics of interaction within collaborative learning environments in which a variety of verbal and non-verbal modes of communication intersect. However, the complexity of non-verbal data -- especially gathered in the wild from collaborative learning contexts -- demands…

E-learning students have a tendency to get demotivated and easily dropout from online courses. Refining the learners' involvement and reducing dropout rates in these e-learning based scenarios is the main drive of this study. This study also shares the results obtained and crafts a comparison with new and emerging commercial solutions. In a…

Learning analytics research has used both knowledge engineering and machine learning methods to model student behaviors within the context of digital learning environments. In this paper, we compare these two approaches, as well as a hybrid approach combining the two types of methods. We illustrate the strengths of each approach in the context of…

The Intelligent Research and Training Platform (IRTP) of the National Center for Educational Technology (NECT) is an application designed to integrate AI technology and teacher education in response to the "Artificial Intelligence + Teacher Education" strategy, in order to provide teacher professional development and power the…
