In educational applications, "Knowledge Tracing" (KT) has been widely studied for decades as it is considered a fundamental task towards adaptive online learning. Among proposed KT methods, Deep Knowledge Tracing (DKT) and its variants are by far the most effective ones due to the high flexibility of the neural network. However, DKT…

Early predictors of student success are becoming a key tool in flipped and online courses to ensure that no student is left behind along course activities. However, with an increased interest in this area, it has become hard to keep track of what the state of the art in early success prediction is. Moreover, prior work on early success prediction…

A discussion forum is a valuable tool to support student learning in online contexts. However, interactions in online discussion forums are sparse, leading to other issues such as low engagement and dropping out. Recent educational studies have examined the affordances of conversational agents (CA) powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to…
