Book Synopsis Using Learning Analytics to Predict Academic Success in Online and Face-to-face Learning Environments by : Lisa Janine Berry
Download or read book Using Learning Analytics to Predict Academic Success in Online and Face-to-face Learning Environments written by Lisa Janine Berry and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This learning analytics study looked at the various student characteristics of all on-campus students who were enrolled in 100 and 200 level courses that were offered in both online and face-to-face formats during a two-year period. There is a perception that online education is either not as successful as face-to-face instruction, or it is more difficult for students. The results of this study show this is not the case. The goal of this study was to complete an in-depth analysis of student profiles addressing a variety of demographic categories as well as several academic and course related variables to reveal any patterns for student success in either online or face-to-face courses as measured by final grade. There were large enough differences within different demographic and academic categories to be considered significant for the study population, but overwhelmingly, the most significant predictor of success was found to be past educational success, as reflected in a student's cumulative grade point average. Further analysis was completed on students who declared high school credit as their primary major based on significantly different levels of success. These students were concurrent enrollment students or those who completed college courses for both high school and university credit. Since most of these students were new to the university, they did not have a cumulative GPA, so other predictive factors were explored. The study concludes with recommendations for action based on the logistic regression prediction tool that resulted from the data analysis."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.

Book Synopsis Supporting Students for Success in Online and Distance Education by : Ormond Simpson
Download or read book Supporting Students for Success in Online and Distance Education written by Ormond Simpson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supporting Students for Success in Online and Distance Learning, Third Edition, provides a comprehensive overview of student support both on and off campus. While online and distance learning are the world’s fastest growing areas of educational development, they have a fundamental weakness—their graduation rates, which can be lower than 20 percent. In this powerful new edition, Ormond Simpson builds on a rich history of research in distance and e-learning to show how retention rates can be improved through tested support methods, often at a net financial profit to the institutions involved. By comparing the evidence as well as the cost-effectiveness of various support tactics, this book describes how to promote student success and encourage skill-development from a number of different perspectives: definitions and purpose, theory and psychology, ethics, costs and benefits, activities, sources, media, proactive and reactive, assessment and feedback, staff development, writing support into course materials, research, quality assurance and institutional structures. This concise, practical guide is informal and jargon-free, yet its approach to evidence is rigorous, making it invaluable reading for all those interested in recruiting and teaching diverse students for successful online and distance learning.
Book Synopsis Predictors of Success for High School Students Enrolled in Online Courses in a Single District Program by : David T. Rankin
Download or read book Predictors of Success for High School Students Enrolled in Online Courses in a Single District Program written by David T. Rankin and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid growth in online learning opportunities and online courses in K-12 education is well documented in the literature. Studies conducted by various researchers that have focused on the K-12 population of online learners demonstrate that certain online learner characteristics and online learning environment characteristics may impact the likelihood of students passing or failing online courses. Research has produced models that predict online course success with measurable degrees of accuracy. This descriptive study examines characteristics of students enrolled in online high school courses provided by a virtual learning program administered by a single Virginia public school district. The study determined that students' prior academic success; confidence in their technology skills and access to technology; confidence in their ability to achieve; and strong beliefs in their organizational skills proved to have a significant statistical relationship with online course success. The study developed a model with these factors that predicted success in online courses with a high degree of accuracy and predicted failure with a moderate degree of accuracy.The study has policy implications for public school leaders in Virginia as they implement recent state legislation requiring students to successfully complete a virtual course to graduate from public high school. The study indicates that additional research is warranted to further delineate learner and learning environment characteristics producing a model that more accurately predicts failure in online courses. Additional research is warranted with larger samples from single district virtual programs.
Book Synopsis Predicting Movie Success at the Box Office by : Barrie Gunter
Download or read book Predicting Movie Success at the Box Office written by Barrie Gunter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the different factors that can influence a new movie’s prospects at the box office. Looking at factors such as the production budget, distribution model, genre, stars and audience reactions of films, Gunter asks how such aspects may reduce the uncertainties of success so common in the movie industry. The reader is taken on a journey through filmmaking factors that, research suggests, impact box office performance. While box office revenues represent only part of a movie’s earning potential, Gunter highlights how theatrical performances remain central to what the movie business is about. The chapters illustrate how ticket sales are largely influenced by the production budget but also cultural differences and new movie platforms.

Download or read book Utilizing Learning Analytics to Support Study Success written by Dirk Ifenthaler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students often enter higher education academically unprepared and with unrealistic perceptions and expectations of university life, which are critical factors that influence students’ decisions to leave their institutions prior to degree completion. Advances in educational technology and the current availability of vast amounts of educational data make it possible to represent how students interact with higher education resources, as well as provide insights into students’ learning behavior and processes. This volume offers new research in such learning analytics and demonstrates how they support students at institutions of higher education by offering personalized and adaptive support of their learning journey. It focuses on four major areas of discussion: · Theoretical perspectives linking learning analytics and study success. · Technological innovations for supporting student learning. · Issues and challenges for implementing learning analytics at higher education institutions. · Case studies showcasing successfully implemented learning analytics strategies at higher education institutions. Utilizing Learning Analytics to Support Study Success ably exemplifies how educational data and innovative digital technologies contribute to successful learning and teaching scenarios and provides critical insight to researchers, graduate students, teachers, and administrators in the general areas of education, educational psychology, academic and organizational development, and instructional technology.
Book Synopsis Predicting Student Success Using Digital Textbook Analytics in Online Courses by : Dustin Lee Williams
Download or read book Predicting Student Success Using Digital Textbook Analytics in Online Courses written by Dustin Lee Williams and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the digital era, students are generating and institutions are collecting more data than ever before. With the constant change in technology, new data points are being created. Digital textbooks are becoming more popular, and textbook publishers are shifting more of their efforts to creating digital content. This shift creates new data points that have the potential to show how students are engaging with course material. The purpose of this correlational study is to determine if digital textbook usage data, pages read, number of days, reading sessions, highlights, bookmarks, notes, searches, downloads and prints can predict student success. This study used a multiple regression to determine if digital textbook usage data is a predictor of course or quiz success in five online undergraduate courses at a private liberal arts university. The analysis used digital textbook data from VitalSource and consisted of 1,602 students that were enrolled in an eight-week online course at a private liberal arts university. The analysis showed that there is a significant relationship between digital textbook usage data and total points earned and average quiz grade. This study contributes to the limited knowledge on digital textbook analytics and provides valuable insight into how students engage with digital textbooks in online courses.

Book Synopsis Predicting Online Course Success from Usage of an Online Tutoring System by : Brett Miles
Download or read book Predicting Online Course Success from Usage of an Online Tutoring System written by Brett Miles and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: As online learning continues to grow in higher education, quality online support services must also be offered in order to meet the needs of online students. This study sought to investigate the relationship between the use of an outsourced online tutoring system and course success in select University System of Georgia eCore introductory online gateway courses to determine the extent of the relationship between tutoring usage and course success. The researcher employed logistic regression analysis to determine if using online tutoring increased the students’ probability for course success. Further, the researcher also studied the amount of usage to understand if greater usage increased the probability of course success. Findings from this study indicated that, for most courses studied, participation in online tutoring was associated with a greater likelihood of course success. However, the amount of tutoring received did not typically increase the probability of course success.
Book Synopsis Predicting New Product Success with Prediction Markets in Online Communities by : Kurt Matzler
Download or read book Predicting New Product Success with Prediction Markets in Online Communities written by Kurt Matzler and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prediction of new product success is still a challenging task. Traditional market research tools are expensive, time consuming, and error prone. Prediction markets have been introduced as a viable alternative. Utilizing inputs from various participants in game-like environments, they have been shown to produce accurate results by combining dispersed knowledge via market-based aggregation mechanisms. While most previous studies use employees or experts as a sample, we test whether online consumer communities can be used to predict the sale of new skis via prediction markets. Sixty-two users took part in the study. The prediction market was open for 12 days before the main skiing season 2010/2011 began. The outcomes of the prediction markets were compared with the actual sales numbers provided by the ski producers. The mean average errors were between 2.74% and 9.09% in the four markets. Overall, it can be concluded that the prediction markets based on consumer communities produce accurate results.

Book Synopsis The Predictive Assessment for Virtual Education by : Phonekeo Siharath
Download or read book The Predictive Assessment for Virtual Education written by Phonekeo Siharath and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attrition rate for online education continues to be high. To mitigate or better understand attrition, different researchers have developed survey tools in order to try to predict student outcomes in the virtual setting. Roblyer and Marshall first developed The Educational Success Prediction Instrument (ESPRI) in 2002 and then updated it in 2008 (ESPRI-V2). This particular study built off of their work but adapted the approach to examine predictive instrumentation with a new survey tool using Carol Dweck’s research in the growth mindset. For this study, items on the Predictive Assessment for Virtual Education (PAVE) survey tool ask for ratings on a 7-point Lickert scale. Survey items followed incremental theory and examined growth and mastery oriented mindsets. Responses to the PAVE survey were examined using multiple regression analysis. Item weights were then compared to student outcomes, which were reported in the form of course grades and grade point average. Results were mixed as the data were limited by the students willing to respond to the survey; the self-selected sample resulted in most students having perfect grades. Nonetheless, there were a few response items, particularly the scenario item, which had statistical significance and could support a survey tool to examine online learning and incremental and the growth mindset construct. In the end, just as is the case with online learning as a whole, the survey tool has promise, but it does need more work.
