Deep Knowledge Tracing and Engagement with MOOCs
Mongkhonvanit, Kritphong; Kanopka, Klint; Lang, David
Grantee Submission, Paper presented at the Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference (LAK) (9th, Tempe, AZ, Mar 4-8, 2019)
MOOCs and online courses have notoriously high attrition [1]. One challenge is that it can be difficult to tell if students fail to complete because of disinterest or because of course difficulty. Utilizing a Deep Knowledge Tracing framework, we account for student engagement by including course interaction covariates. With these, we find that we can predict a student's next item response with over 88% accuracy. Using these predictions, targeted intervention scan be offered to students and targeted improvements can be made to courses. In particular, this approach would allow for gating of content until a student has reasonable likelihood of succeeding.
