2. How It can be used in my project
TITLE : Predicting performance of students in a particular course by using Machine learning
models.
DATA= log data, Video-related variables, Platform use variables
We can collected the data which can be useful to predicting performance
How many hours sleep has taken by learner, does learner during completion period of
course(survey before each class)
Use of body language during teaching
Collecting data of learners background(Diversity)
Project based learning related variables
It will be interesting to see how this variables affect the performance of learner

3. PROPOSED PROJECT IDEA
USING EDUCATIONAL
NEUROSCIENCE IN
PERSONALIZATION OF
MOOCS

4. Drawbacks in MOOCs
The current MOOCs design does not consider the diversity of its learners
Providing same content to all type of learners, Only English language used, learners disability
such as blind, low vision, deaf, dyslexia.
Low completion rate in MOOCs.
Adaptive content or assistance to learners according to their needs.
Encouraged by providing predefined personal paths and super badges
Very Low project based learning

5. ADDRESSING LEARNER CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN MOOC DESIGN AND
DELIVERY: STRATEGIES AND PRACTICES OF EXPERTS(Dr.Meina ZHU ,NajiaSABIR ,Dr.
Curtis J. BONK, Annisa SARI ,Dr.Shuya XU ,Dr. Minkyoung KIM ) 2021

7. Use of Educational Neuroscience in
MOOCs
My idea is to use the educational neuroscience principles to group the all learners of MOOC
Based on the different type of learners content will be delivered to students
Grouping of learners will be done by using different activities which uses educational
neuroscience principles

9. ACTIVITIES
Design and deliver embodied learning activities
Creating activities based on three important points of embodied cognition(Instruction,
observation and action)
Providing various actives like game based learning( Linking the gaming sites to MOOCs)
Incorporate digital manipulatives in the online classroom
Giving the learner breaks in between for some basic exercise

10. EXPECTED RESULTS
Learner will get content based on learner background
Learner determined content
Will reduce the drop out rate in MOOCs
Increase the performance of learners in MOOCs

11. MAIN TAKEAWAYS
Physical exercise enhances learning
Diet and sleep makes a difference to learning
Understanding our emotions could play a key role in decision makings
How to use working memory for to work better(like spaced learning)
Clarification of various neuro myths
Importance of embodied cognition in classroom
