Résumé

Massive online open courses' (MOOCs') students who use discussion forums have higher chances of finishing the course. However, little research has been conducted for understanding the underlying factors. One of the reasons which hinders the analysis is the amount of manual work required for annotating posts. In this paper, we use machine learning techniques to extrapolate small set of annotations to the whole forum. These annotations not only allow MOOC producers to summarize the state of the forum, but they also allow researchers to deeper understand the role of the forum in the learning process.

Apprentissage automatique

L'apprentissage automatique (en anglais : machine learning, « apprentissage machine »), apprentissage artificiel ou apprentissage statistique est un champ d'étude de l'intelligence artificielle qui se fonde sur des approches mathématiques et statistiques pour donner aux ordinateurs la capacité d'« apprendre » à partir de données, c'est-à-dire d'améliorer leurs performances à résoudre des tâches sans être explicitement programmés pour chacune. Plus largement, il concerne la conception, l'analyse, l'optimisation, le développement et l'implémentation de telles méthodes.

Apprentissage

L’apprentissage est un ensemble de mécanismes menant à l'acquisition de savoir-faire, de savoirs ou de connaissances. L'acteur de l'apprentissage est appelé apprenant. On peut opposer l'apprentissage à l'enseignement dont le but est de dispenser des connaissances et savoirs, l'acteur de l'enseignement étant l'enseignant.

Learning space

Learning space or learning setting refers to a physical setting for a learning environment, a place in which teaching and learning occur. The term is commonly used as a more definitive alternative to "classroom," but it may also refer to an indoor or outdoor location, either actual or virtual. Learning spaces are highly diverse in use, configuration, location, and educational institution. They support a variety of pedagogies, including quiet study, passive or active learning, kinesthetic or physical learning, vocational learning, experiential learning, and others.
