INTERPRETABLE MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS FOR IDENTIFYING AT-RISK STUDENTS IN ONLINE DEGREE PROGRAMS
Described systems and techniques provide actionable insights to enable student support staff to identify students who are in need of support, even when such students have not requested support. Fast and accurate training of multiple machine learning models may be implemented to enable iterative, updateable predictions of a student's grade in a course, even when the course has never been previously offered to students. As a student progresses through a course and towards a degree that requires that course, described techniques may update a predicted final course grade of that student, using one or more trained, selected machine learning models.
Techniques are described by which learner skill can be estimated over time, even in the presence of large data sets. A rating system can be used in which a learner's submission of a course assessment can be interpreted as a single match, where the learner and the course assessment are competing against each other. This approach can be applied to online learning platforms that include very many learners who have submitted assignments very many times in many courses. The described techniques provide reliable estimates of assessment difficulty and learner ability. The described scoring framework may be used as a basis for various applications that account for a learner's ability, such as adaptive diagnostic tests and personalized recommendations.

Techniques of randomized testing of massively open online courses (MOOCs) involve generating independent A/B tests on the plurality of individual sections of a MOOC. Along these lines, a MOOC may have many learning modules, with many students enrolled in the MOOC. A course instructor may wish to experiment with different variations of course content in order to discover whether any such variations may improve the MOOC. Rather than perform a single A/B test during the MOOC to obtain results for which the course instructor would have to wait weeks, the instructor submits variations of various individual learning modules of the MOOC to a A/B testing server. The A/B testing server may then assign students in each lecture to different versions of a learning module. The A/B testing server may also evaluate the results of the testing in order to provide a recommendation about the MOOC as a whole.

The method can further include receiving a selection of the particular word, determining a first thumbnail image and a second thumbnail image associated with the particular word, displaying the first thumbnail image and the second thumbnail image, receiving a selection of the first thumbnail image, and modifying, based on the selection of the first thumbnail image, the time-based transcript by including the first thumbnail image in the time-based transcript. The method can further include storing the modified time-based transcript as the digital textbook.

A computer-implemented method includes prompting a user to provide an authentication typing sample by entering an authentication phrase on a keyboard, in order to authenticate the user submitting coursework in an online education course. The method involves determining whether the authentication typing sample matches an enrollment typing sample captured earlier. In the event the authentication typing sample matches the enrollment typing sample, the method involves authenticating the user's identity and accordingly determining whether the coursework is successfully submitted and signed by the user. Conversely, in the event the authentication typing sample does not match the enrollment typing sample, the method involves prompting the user to provide a second type of authentication information for matching with an enrollment sample of the second type of authentication information, and accordingly authenticating the user's identity and determining whether the coursework is successfully submitted and signed by the user.

Group formation and notification in an on-line course system
An on-line course system involves an On-Line Course Content Serving Web Server (OCCSWS). The OCCSWS serves, or otherwise enables the providing of, on-line course materials such as textual materials and/or a video to a large number of remotely located students. The students view the course materials and take part in the classes remotely via the internet. The OCCSWS performs volunteered user data collection, thereby obtaining for each student items of first classification information. The OCCSWS performs behavioral user data collection, thereby obtaining for each student items of second classification information. The items of first and second classification information are used to group the students into groups. The OCCSWS then communicates, to each student, an indication of the group to which the student has been assigned. The OCCSWS facilitates the students engaging in group activities, monitors the students, and if necessary prompts the students to perform certain group activity tasks.

A web browser renders a web page, where textual information is displayed in a first portion of the page and where streaming video is displayed in a second portion of the page. As a user interacts with the page and views the video, both page view values and video data values are sent out from the browser, across a single TCP/IP connection, and to a single analytics web server, where both types of values are stored. The page view values may, for example, indicate when the user clicks on buttons, keys or links. The video data values may, for example, indicate the settings or play status of the video player application program. The analytics web server receives the two types of values, performs real-time processing using the values, and outputs a report in real time where the report includes a real-time analysis of both types of data values.

Performing identity verification for online education is disclosed. In response to receiving a notification of a submission event, a user is prompted to provide authentication information including at least one of a plurality of types of information. Authentication information received is compared to at least a portion of stored enrollment information associated with the user with which the received authentication information is associated. The stored enrollment information includes at least two different types of information collected during an enrollment phase, including the at least one type of information solicited during the user prompting. In the event that matching criteria are met based at least in part on the comparison, a first action is performed. In the event that matching criteria are not met based at least in part on the comparison, a second action that is different from the first action is performed.
