AI-Based Student Participation and Engagement Analytics Tool for Enhancing Classroom Learning & Engagement

Abstract

Participation and engagement are essential to positive learning outcomes and while participation is important, it is difficult for instructors to assess participation at the individual level in a classroom. The traditional methods are primarily based on manual tracking and data recording, which require significant time and effort. These are subjective procedures and are hard to be followed from the start of the semester until its end. This article introduces a student presentation and engagement analytics solution based on artificial intelligence that captures, analyzes, and properly visualizes interaction data in real time in the students' classroom. The proposed system allows students to engage in classroom activities by participating in the activities through mobile devices responses to questions and assignment submission, while automatically capturing their responses. A gamification reward system is used to get the students to actively participate in the classroom and to motivate them. AI offers live insights to teachers and learners about learning activities, participation and engagement. The proposed approach will make the traditional classroom an interactive learning environment with timely feedback, individualized learning and increased student participation, using data to make learning more interactive and more data driven.
