In this study, the effect of combining variables from the different data sources for student academic performance prediction was examined using three state-of-the–art classifiers: Decision Tree (DT), Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The study examined the use of heterogeneous multi-model ensemble techniques to predict student academic performance based on the combination of these classifiers and three different data sources. A quantitative approach was used to develop the various base classifier models while the ensemble models were developed using stacked generalisation ensemble method in order to overcome the individual weaknesses of the different models. Variables were extracted from the institution’s Student Record System and Learning Management System (Moodle) and from a structured student questionnaire. At present, negligible work has been done using this integrated approach and ensemble techniques especially with aggregated learner data in performance prediction in HE. The empirical results obtained show that the ensemble models.........................

In this paper we describe the collaborative participation of UvA \& UNED at RepLab 2013. We propose an active learning approach for the filtering subtask, using features based on the detected semantics in the tweet (using Entity Linking with Wikipedia), as well as tweet-inherent features such as hashtags and usernames. The tweets manually inspected during the active learning process is at most 1\% of the test data. While our baseline does not perform well, we can see that active learning does improve the results.

Embedded System Practicum Module for Increase Student Comprehension of Microc...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
The result of applying the embedded system in education for students is successfully applied in
university. On the other side, many people in Indonesia use smart equipment’s (Hand phone, Remote), but
none of those equipments are used in education. University as the source of knowledge should overcome
the problem by encouraging the students to use a technology with learning about it first. Embedded
System Practicum Module Design needs a prototype method so that the practicum module that is desired
can be made. This method is often used in real life. A prototype considered of a part of a product that
expresses logic and physical of external interface that is being displayed and this method will fully depend
on user contentment. Embedded System Practicum Module Design is made to increase student
comprehension of embedded system course and to encourage students to innovate, so that many
technologies will be developed and also to help lecturers deliver course subjects. With this practicum it is
hoped that the student comprehension will increase significantly. The result of this research is a decent
practicum module, hardware or software that can help students to know better about technology and the
course subjects so that it will encourage the students to create an embedded system technology. The
result of the test has been done; there is an increase of learning value obtained by 7.8%.

Promoting Teacher Self Efficacy - A Presentation for Lakehead UniversityRobert Power
A presentation about my research on the CSAM learning design framework and the mTSES survey instrument, prepared for the Faculty of Education at Lakehead University, (Thunder Bay and Orillia) Ontario, Canada.
The document discusses blueprints, which are matrices that show the number and type of test questions for each topic based on learning objectives and the relative weight of each topic. A blueprint also identifies the percentage weightings for cognitive dimensions and levels of competence tested in different domains.
The rest of the document provides an example blueprint for a test on light and heat propagation. It shows the question breakdown by topic, objective, and question type, allocating different point values and percentages. Finally, it discusses the importance of blueprints in providing a conceptual map of the exam format and content to ensure key topics are assessed.
Neural networks can be used for machine learning tasks like classification. They consist of interconnected nodes that update their weight values during a training process using examples. Neural networks have been applied successfully to tasks like handwritten character recognition, autonomous vehicle control by observing human drivers, and text-to-speech pronunciation generation. Their architecture is inspired by the human brain but neural networks are trained using computational methods while the brain uses biological processes.
1. The document discusses a study assessing the effectiveness of multimedia in teaching physics concepts to undergraduate students.
2. Two groups of students were given pre-tests and post-tests on oscillations concepts, with one group receiving traditional lectures and the other receiving additional computer simulations and discussions.
3. Analysis of the results found that the experimental group that received the multimedia instruction showed significantly higher normalized learning gains compared to the control group, indicating that computer-aided instruction can help improve students' understanding of physics principles.
Assessing Complex Problem Solving PerformancesRenee Lewis
The document describes an approach to assessing complex problem-solving performances using simulations. It discusses the challenges of multidimensionality and local dependence in extended simulation tasks. The approach uses Evidence-Centered Design to extract features from student performance data, evaluate the features, and make inferences about proficiency. It provides an example of assessing problem-solving with technology using the NAEP Problem-Solving in Technology-Rich Environments study, which measures scientific problem-solving skills through search and simulation modules that keep the content domain constant while varying the computer tools used.
Technology-based assessments-special education
New technologies remain competitive in driving efforts to make learning more efficient. Technology-based assessment in special education has made quite some advancement (Goldsmith & LeBlanc, 2004). First applications of computer technology assessment were for the scoring student's test forms. Currently, features incorporate self-administration, software control in presentation, response evaluation based on algorithms, prescription based on expert knowledge and direct links in assessment and change in instructions. The technology-based assessment uses electronic and software systems to evaluate individual children in an educational setting. Traditional assessments employ approaches of the computer.
Video-based computer assisted test enabled learning of language for the student automatically increasing the validity of measurements. Video segments incorporated movie elements of moral dilemma in problem-solving tests. Students viewing the video segments respond by simply touching the screen. Innovative approaches have created relevance in testing procedures. Misplaced students result into poor results and get prompted to drop out. Teachers not well trained contribute to the misplacement due to poor management of certain behaviors and learning differences. For effect, teachers must be able to analyze data produced by the assessment and develop a due course of action.
In addressing students with physical limitations use of voice recognition, handwriting interpreters, stylus tools, and touchscreen enables communication without the use of keys (Gierach, 2009). New software features allow students to perform comfortable pace of video segments on preferred language options. Computers are linked to videodisc enabling students to learn according to individual needs and skills. Latest technological features concern evaluation. Technological advancements assess social competence among students. The evaluator views students in a variety of context. Limitation in technology infrastructure, seen as the key barrier in this sort of assessment. Many district schools lack adequate high-speed broadband access necessary for this evaluation. Moreover, obsolesce in technology-based assessment erodes the capacity to provide quality services technology-based systems have a relatively short functional life.
Holistic assessments are the best in technology-based assessments. They incorporate software control in presentation, conceptual models or algorithms, decision-making based rules and expert knowledge (Redecker, & Johannessen, 2013). Proliferation technology helps students in the inclusion of speech recognition, electronic communication, personal computers, robotics and artificial intelligence. Trends in technology-based assessments have impacted lives of students with a disability. They achieve school improvement goals as well as tracking student growth and progress.

ADABOOST ENSEMBLE WITH SIMPLE GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR STUDENT PREDICTION MODELijcsit
Predicting the student performance is a great concern to the higher education managements.This
prediction helps to identify and to improve students' performance.Several factors may improve this
performance.In the present study, we employ the data mining processes, particularly classification, to
enhance the quality of the higher educational system. Recently, a new direction is used for the improvement
of the classification accuracy by combining classifiers.In thispaper, we design and evaluate a fastlearning
algorithm using AdaBoost ensemble with a simple genetic algorithmcalled “Ada-GA” where the genetic
algorithm is demonstrated to successfully improve the accuracy of the combined classifier performance.
The Ada-GA algorithm proved to be of considerable usefulness in identifying the students at risk early,
especially in very large classes. This early prediction allows the instructor to provide appropriate advising
to those students. The Ada/GA algorithm is implemented and tested on ASSISTments dataset, the results
showed that this algorithm hassuccessfully improved the detection accuracy as well as it reduces the
complexity of computation.

algorithm, Fuzzy Logic etc. This study involves the efficiency of applying support vector machine using
Gaussian Radial Basis kernel function to software measurement problem to increase the performance and
accuracy. Support vector machines (SVM) are innovative approach to constructing learning machines that
Minimize generalization error. There is a close relationship between SVMs and the Radial Basis Function
(RBF) classifiers. Both have found numerous applications such as in optical character recognition, object
detection, face verification, text categorization, and so on. The result demonstrated that the accuracy and
generalization performance of SVM Gaussian Radial Basis kernel function is better than RBFN. We also
examine and summarize the several superior points of the SVM compared with RBFN.

Teachers' computer literacy has been identified as a factor that determines their technology use in class. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical education (PE) teachers' computer literacy and their technology use in PE. The study group consisted of 57 high school level in-service PE teachers. A survey was used to assess the PE teachers' computer literacy and instructional technology and media use in PE. Quantitative statistical procedures were performed to analyze the data. The majority of the PE teachers did not often use technology in PE. PE teachers' computer literacy had an effect on their technology use in PE. PE teachers' use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) such as laptops, Internet, and digital cameras showed statistically significant differences in their computer literacy levels (low, average, and high). The surveyed PE teachers tended to not usetechnology in PE. However, the higher their computer literacy level was, the more likely they were to include technology in PE.
TEACHER EDUCATION
Technology has become normal and even ubiquitous in everyday life (Horst, 2012). The tech-savvy so-called digital natives (Bennett, Maton, & Kervin, 2008; Prensky, 2001), also known as the Net generation, "naturally" include diverse technologies in their daily routines. The society-wide technology enhancement also includes educational settings such as school. For school-aged children and adolescents, this means they are accompanied by technology not only in their leisure time, but also in their everyday life at school (Nemcek, 2013).
Technology as an instructional method has conquered school classrooms in the meantime (Calvani, 2009). Technology uses in schools have certainly been increased over the past decade (Wastiau et al., 2013). Among the school subjects, physical education (PE) and physical education teacher education (PETE) have been infused with technology as well, at least within the academic discussion and debate (Kretschmann, 2010; Leight & Nichols, 2012; Mohnsen, 2012; National Association for Sport and Physical Education, 2009).
With regard to research findings in the field of technology and PE, the empirical evidence is limited and few empirical studies are available (Kretschmann, 2010). Especially, the PE teachers' perspective has not been in the center of empirical studies so far. The majority of the studies have been focused on PETE students' information and communication technology (ICT) compete ...

CATS administers online tests and tracks students' responses, including response times and notes made on questions. It aims to emulate paper test-taking strategies. Test questions are randomly selected from pools of various difficulty levels. Student and teacher reports link performance to patterns in students' reasoning to support reflection and improve instruction.
Analysis of Educational Robotics activities using a machine learning approachLorenzo Cesaretti
These slides present the preliminary results through the utilisation of machine learning techniques for the analysis of Educational Robotics activities. An experimentation with 197 secondary school students from Italy was con-ducted, through updating Lego Mindstorms EV3 programming blocks in order to record log files containing the coding sequences designed by the students (within team work), during the resolution of a preliminary Robotics’ exercise. We utilised four machine learning techniques (logistic regression, support vec-tor machine, K-nearest neighbors and random forests) to predict the students’ performance, comparing a supervised approach (using twelve indicators ex-tracted from the log files as input for the algorithms) and a mixed approach (ap-plying a k-means algorithm to calculate the machine learning features). The re-sults have highlighted that SVM with the mixed approach outperformed the other techniques, and that three learning styles were predominantly emerged from the data mining analysis.
Acceptence Of TPC Scale - Validity And Reliability StudyBrandi Gonzales
This document describes a study that developed and validated a scale to measure secondary students' acceptance of tablet computers (TPCs).
The researchers developed a 17-item scale based on the Technology Acceptance Model, which measures perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward use, and behavioral intention. They administered the scale to 400 high school students and analyzed it using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.
The analysis validated a 4-factor structure for the scale corresponding to the four dimensions. Perceived usefulness had the highest eigenvalue and explained the most variance. The validated scale provides a reliable tool to measure secondary students' acceptance of TPCs, which is important for effective integration and use of the technology in education
ANALYSIS OF STUDENT ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE USING MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS:– ...indexPub
Student academic performance is the great value of institutes, universities and colleges. All colleges majorly focus on the career development of students. The academic performance of students plays a vital role in the establishment of a bright career. On the basis of better academic performance, the placement of the students will be better and the same will be reflected in the form of better admission and future. Machine learning can be deployed for the prediction of student performance. Various algorithms are playing an important role in the prediction of the accuracy of various machine learning models. These articles discuss various algorithms that can be helpful to deploy for predicting student academic performance. The article discusses various methods, predictive features and the accuracy of machine learning algorithms. The primary factors used for predicting students performance are academic institution, sessional marks, semester progress, family occupation, methods and algorithms. The accuracy level of various machine learning algorithms is discussed in this article.
CORRELATION BASED FEATURE SELECTION (CFS) TECHNIQUE TO PREDICT STUDENT PERFRO...IJCNCJournal
Education data mining is an emerging stream which helps in mining academic data for solving various
types of problems. One of the problems is the selection of a proper academic track. The admission of a
student in engineering college depends on many factors. In this paper we have tried to implement a
classification technique to assist students in predicting their success in admission in an engineering
stream.We have analyzed the data set containing information about student’s academic as well as sociodemographic variables, with attributes such as family pressure, interest, gender, XII marks and CET rank
in entrance examinations and historical data of previous batch of students. Feature selection is a process
for removing irrelevant and redundant features which will help improve the predictive accuracy of
classifiers. In this paper first we have used feature selection attribute algorithms Chi-square.InfoGain, and
GainRatio to predict the relevant features. Then we have applied fast correlation base filter on given
features. Later classification is done using NBTree, MultilayerPerceptron, NaiveBayes and Instance based
–K- nearest neighbor. Results showed reduction in computational cost and time and increase in predictive
accuracy for the student model
CORRELATION BASED FEATURE SELECTION (CFS) TECHNIQUE TO PREDICT STUDENT PERFRO...IJCNCJournal
This document discusses using feature selection and classification techniques to predict student performance and recommend an engineering stream for students. It first describes feature selection algorithms like chi-square and correlation-based feature selection to identify relevant attributes from a student data set. It then applies classifiers like NBTree, Naive Bayes, k-nearest neighbor, and multilayer perceptron on the selected features and evaluates their performance. The results show that correlation-based feature selection reduces computation time and improves predictive accuracy for recommending an engineering stream for students.
Affective Metacognitive Scaffolding and User Model Augmentation for Experient...Adam Moore
The ImREAL project (http://www.imreal-project.eu) is researching how to meaningfully augment and extend existing experiential training simulators. The services developed support self-regulated, goal-, and application-oriented learning in adult training. We present results from a study evaluating a medical interview training simulator that has been augmented by an affective metacognitive scaffolding service and by user modelling exploiting social digital traces. Data from 152 medical students participating in this user trial were compared to the results of a prior trial on an earlier technology version. Findings show that students perceived the learning simulator positively and that the enhanced simulator led to increased feelings of success, less frustration, higher technical flow, and more reflection on learning. Interestingly, this cohort of users proved reluctant to provide their open social IDs to enrich their user models.
An Artificial Intelligence-Based Distance Education System ArtimatNicole Heredia
The document describes an artificial intelligence-based distance education system called ARTIMAT. It was developed to improve students' mathematical problem solving skills. The system was tested with 4 teachers and 59 students. Survey results found that the system was generally successful in helping students learn problem solving concepts and processes, but some interface changes were needed for students to adapt quickly. The system uses artificial intelligence techniques like forward and backward chaining to analyze problems and break them into sub-problems to guide students through the solution process step-by-step.

The methods of exploratory testing has gained significant attention in industry and research in the last years. However, as many “buzzword" technologies, the introduction and application of exploratory testing is not straightforward. Exploratory testing it is not only black or white - scripted or exploratory - but also all shades of grey in between. Within the EASE industrial excellence center, we have executed an industrial workshop on exploratory testing, that helps providing understanding of how to choose feasible levels of exploration in exploratory testing. We will present the concepts of levels of exploration in exploratory testing, the outcomes of the workshop, along with relevant empirical research findings on exploratory testing.
This document describes a virtual supermarket simulator application created by Emil Rosenlund Høeg and Luca Mangano. The application was developed for Aalborg University's Integrated Food Studies program as a tool to study consumer behavior and decision making in a virtual environment. A usability test was conducted with 17 participants to evaluate the application based on learnability, effectiveness, efficiency, errors, and satisfaction. The results showed that participants felt limited by the application's current functionality but provided suggestions for improvements to enhance the experience. The project demonstrated potential for a virtual simulation tool but requires further refinement of the user interface, textures, and interaction techniques to achieve its goals.
ASEE Paper Using Online Endless Quizzes as Graded Homework.pdfBrittany Allen
This document summarizes a study on the use of online endless quizzes (EOQs) as graded homework in an undergraduate Numerical Methods course. The study found that EOQs improved student performance on topics covered by the quizzes, while minimizing grading time. Students had unlimited attempts on algorithmic quizzes covering three topics. Analysis found moderate relationships between Calculus III grades and scores on topics covered by EOQs. Student learning styles and self-efficacy were measured but found to have little influence on performance. Overall, EOQs enhanced student learning and demonstrated competency in topics covered by the quizzes.
An Adaptive Evaluation System to Test Student Caliber using Item Response TheoryEditor IJMTER
Computational creativity research has produced many computational systems that are
described as creative [1]. A comprehensive literature survey reveals that although such systems are
labelled as creative, there is a distinct lack of evaluation of the Creativity of creative systems [1].
Nowadays, a number of online testing websites exist but the drawback of these tests is that every
student who gives a particular test will always be given the same set of questions irrespective of their
caliber. Thus, a student with a very high Intelligence Quotient (IQ) may be forced to answer basic
level questions and in the same way weaker students may be asked very challenging questions which
they cannot response. This method of testing results into a wastage of time for the high IQ students
and can be quite frustrating for the weaker students. This would never benefit a teacher to understand
a particular student’s caliber for the subject under Consideration. Each learner has different learning
status and therefore different test items should be used in their evaluation. This paper proposes an
Adaptive Evaluation System developed based on an Item Response Theory and would be created for
mobile end user keeping in mind the flexibility of students to attempt the test from anywhere. This
application would not only dynamically customize questions for students based on the previous
question he/she has answered but also by adjusting the degree of difficulty for test questions
depending on student ability, a teacher can acquire a valid & reliable measurement of student’s
competency.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

2. The purpose of the study is:
To examine the efficacy of using a digital technologies app
(Wolfram Alpha) as a pedagogical tool for teaching students to
plot quadratic equations.
An experimental design used.
Control group (no tech) and Experimental group (tech)
Traditional classroom approach and Wolfram Alpha app.
3. Advantages use of technology:
Technology has had a powerful role in educational
advantages such as ubiquity, portability, and
flexibility for collaborative learning projects (Park,
2008).
Technology can enhance educational quality, make
learning and teaching more engaging, and provide
access to real life applications of the subject (Attard &
Curry, 2012; Souter, 2001; Henderson & Yeow, 2012).
Mobile devices as powerful tools
4. Disadvantages use of technology:
Lack of experience
Technical problems
Cost of technological tools is expensive
(Meche, Ross, and Vincent, 2002; Merrill, 2001; Henderson & Yeow,
2012; Franklin & Peng, 2008 ).
5. Wolfram Alpha can be accessed independently on smart
phones, tablets or computers (Dimiceli, Lang, Locke, 2010).
Easy to calculate mathematical equation as a computation
engine
Easy to draw parabolic graphs.
6. A set of power point slides which contained:
Real time applications of quadratic equations
Stepwise Derivation of the Quadratic Formula
Sample Solution for a given quadratic equation
Sample Graph for a given quadratic equation
7. Practice Test:
Four questions to identify the correct graph (out of four options) for a
given quadratic equation
Three questions to solve for the roots of quadratic equations
Posttest:
Three questions to solve a quadratic equation
Two questions to plot a quadratic equation on a graph
One worded problem to check if they could translate their knowledge of
quadratic equation to solve a real time problem
9. We found a significant difference between the scores of the
practice tests between the control PCTc (M ± SD:
35.4188±39.27758) and experimental PCTe (M ± SD:
80.9571±22.41787) groups, ind.(13) =-2.699, p=.018, d=-
1.39695.
From this comparison we can draw two conclusions:
Both methods appear to be equally as effective as determined
from the final scores
While the app helps students perform better on tests, their
performance suffers without it
The app does not help the students to better understand the
material; it merely reduces mistakes and time required
10. Small Sample Size. Hence, findings cannot be
generalized to a broader community.
Participants had less amount of time to
familiarize with the app.
Two back to back Math related studies may
have induced a mental fatigue among
participants.
