Titre : | Toward a recommender system for helping learners at risk of dropping out in MOOCs | Type de document : | projet fin études | Auteurs : | SEKKOU Amjad, Auteur | Langues : | Français (fre) | Catégories : | BIG DATA
| Index. décimale : | mast 263/19 | Résumé : | Recently, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have aroused a great interest in
the media. As the number of students enrolled in MOOCs increases, and given
the lack of supervision, it becomes dicult for students to get answers to their
questions through discussion forums, resulting a very high attrition rate. In this
work, we addressed the problem of unanswered questions in the discussion forums,
based on a combination of Social Network Analysis and Deep Learning. First, we
analyzed a network that presents the interaction between students, and an other that
illustrates the structure of the threads in order to obtain the lone questions. Then,
we calculated a similarity score between these questions, using our proposed model.
This last, is the key element of the semantic similarity approach between forum
questions. The results of our experience on a Stanford University MOOC course
show that our recommendation method has the potential to guide students to the
answers of their questions, and also to learners who can help them. Thus, achieve
the main goal of this master thesis: Reduce the high attrition rate in MOOCs. |
