Secure Answer Book And Automatic Grading, Manoj Thulasidas
Secure Answer Book And Automatic Grading, Manoj Thulasidas
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In response to the growing need to perform assessments online, we have developed a secure answer book, as well as a tool for automatically grading it for our course on spread- sheet modeling. We applied these techniques to a cohort of about 160 students who took the course last term. In this paper, we describe the design, implementation and the techniques employed to enhance both the security of the answer book and the ease, accuracy and consistency of grading. In addition, we summarize the experience and takeaways, both from the instructor and the student perspectives. Although the answer book and …

The pace at which technology redefines traditional job functions is picking up rapidly. This trend is triggered particularly by advances in analytics, security, cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence and big data. The purpose of this paper is to present a case study on our approach to renewing an undergraduate IS Major curriculum to align with the needs of the industry. We adopt a survey based approach to study Information Systems (IS) graduate skills requirements and re-design the curriculum framework for the IS program at our school. The paper describes in detail the process, the redesigned IS curriculum, the impact of the …

Personality inference has received widespread attention for its potential to infer psychological well being, job satisfaction, romantic relationship success, and professional performance. In this research, we focus on Conscientiousness, one of the well studied Big Five personality traits, which determines if a person is self-disciplined, organized, and hard-working. Research has shown that Conscientiousness is related to a person's academic and workplace success. For an expert to evaluate a person's Conscientiousness, long-term observation of the person's behavior at work place or at home is usually required. To reduce this evaluation effort as well as to cope with the increasing trend of …
Using Data Analytics To Predict Students Score, Nang Laik Ma, Gim Hong Chua
Using Data Analytics To Predict Students Score, Nang Laik Ma, Gim Hong Chua
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Education is very important to Singapore, and the government has continued to invest heavily in our education system to become one of the world-class systems today. A strong foundation of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) was what underpinned Singapore's development over the past 50 years. PISA is a triennial international survey that evaluates education systems worldwide by testing the skills and knowledge of 15-year-old students who are nearing the end of compulsory education. In this paper, the authors used the PISA data from 2012 and 2015 and developed machine learning techniques to predictive the students' scores and understand the …
Evaluating Methods For Students To Identify And Clarify Doubts In Computing Design Courses, Eng Lieh Ouh, Benjamin Gan
Evaluating Methods For Students To Identify And Clarify Doubts In Computing Design Courses, Eng Lieh Ouh, Benjamin Gan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This full paper evaluates the effectiveness of doubts identification and clarification methods applied in undergraduate computing design courses. Many undergraduate courses in computing require students to understand abstract design concepts. Exposed to the design concepts for the first time, students need to be able to identify and clarify their doubts about the abstract concepts in order to make the right design decisions. In this study, we seek to evaluate the effectiveness of six methods that help students to identify and clarify their doubts. These methods vary in their timing (immediate or delayed), communication style (online or face-to-face) and participation style …
Using Student Perceptions To Design Smart Class Participation Tools: A Technology Framework, Swapna Gottipati, Shankararaman, Venky, Mark Wei Jie Ng
Using Student Perceptions To Design Smart Class Participation Tools: A Technology Framework, Swapna Gottipati, Shankararaman, Venky, Mark Wei Jie Ng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Our research full paper studies the perceptions of students and proposes technology design framework for smart class participation tools. Participation in classroom discussions has been observed to improve student comprehension and performance. In our contemporary tertiary educational context, student participation is characterised in mainly two forms; inclass discussions and online forums. Both forms of participation generate voluminous amounts of knowledge. However, the present difficulty in capturing and analysing these forms of participation leads to loss of knowledge and insights, which otherwise could be very useful. This study aims to analyse ways to improve data capture as well as data analysis …
Automated Discussion Analysis - Framework For Knowledge Analysis From Class Discussions, Swapna Gottipati, Venky Shankararaman, Mallikan Gokarn Nitin
Automated Discussion Analysis - Framework For Knowledge Analysis From Class Discussions, Swapna Gottipati, Venky Shankararaman, Mallikan Gokarn Nitin
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This research full paper, describes knowledge management of class discussions using an analytics based framework. Discussions, either live classroom or through online forums, when used as a teaching method can help stimulate critical thinking. It allows the teacher to explore in-depth the key concepts covered in the course, motivates students to articulate their ideas clearly and challenge the students to think more deeply. Analysing the discussions helps instructors gain better insights on the personal and collaborative learning behaviour of students. However, knowledge from in-class discussions and online forums is not effectively captured and mined due to lack of appropriate automated …
A Visual Analytics Tool For Personalized Competency Feedback, Joelle Elmaleh, Shankararaman, Venky
A Visual Analytics Tool For Personalized Competency Feedback, Joelle Elmaleh, Shankararaman, Venky
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper we report our study on the design and implementation of a visual analytics tool, Competency Analytics System (CAS), which provides feedback to instructors on both the cohort and individual student’s competency acquisition rate, as well as provide personalized dashboard to each student on his or her competency acquisition for a specific course. We present the key functionalities of CAS and describe a case study on the implementation of CAS in a first-year programming course. Data from a student survey indicates that the personalized dashboard provided by CAS contributed to enhancing their ability to clearly identify the extent …
Deep Learning Of Facial Embeddings And Facial Landmark Points For The Detection Of Academic Emotions, Hua Leong Fwa
Deep Learning Of Facial Embeddings And Facial Landmark Points For The Detection Of Academic Emotions, Hua Leong Fwa
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Automatic emotion recognition is an actively researched area as emotion plays a pivotal role in effective human communications. Equipping a computer to understand and respond to human emotions has potential applications in many fields including education, medicine, transport and hospitality. In a classroom or online learning context, the basic emotions do not occur frequently and do not influence the learning process itself. The academic emotions such as engagement, frustration, confusion and boredom are the ones which are pivotal to sustaining the motivation of learners. In this study, we evaluated the use of deep learning on FaceNet embeddings and facial landmark …
