How to Approach Right, the Regulation of Educational AI?

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-12-24) Samovich, Valery

The purpose of this research is to find the right approach to regulate educational AI. First, I analyzed the existing AI initiatives, AI regulatory approaches and identified the core elements of AI regulations. Second, I conducted a survey and find out what values are important for regular students. And, finally, I summarized and formulated the approach for the regulation of Educational AI.
Next Generation Learning Platform - Reference Architecture Based on Open Standard

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-12-07) Kelklie, Moges

There are hundreds of companies developing learning tools and capabilities; however, there are not many papers published on how these technologies are interconnected to provide a complete learning architecture. Because of the lack of comprehensive open learning architecture, education companies are forced to piece together many technologies and hardwire them through a non-standard integration. In recognizing the lack of progress on learning management tools, Educause proposed a conceptual framework called the next-generation digital learning environment (NGDLE). This paper explores NDGLE and suggests a reference architecture based on open standards.
On Learning Electronic Media Production as an Experienced Musician

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-04-29) King, Lewis G.

Electronic music production (EMP) is an increasingly popular avenue for music expression, yet learning this skill has a high barrier to entry. The paper presents research methods investigating the idea that existing musical knowledge aids in the learning of electronic production. It was discovered that while existing musical knowledge is useful for learning, the EMP skill set is quite different and relies heavily on technical skills. The most popular tool for musicians who start to learn EMP, Ableton Live, is expensive and does not currently incorporate education technology (edtech). Research and analysis indicate that the process for musicians to become proficient in EMP is cumbersome, and that simple tools could be developed to improve this process.
HelperBot : A Prototype System for Reducing Cognitive Load

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019) Bartlett, Samuel A.

HelperBot is a prototype Slackbot designed to demonstrate how a conversational bot could be used to reduce the high attrition rate for online students by reducing students’ cognitive load.
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Digital Game Based Learning in Second Language Vocabulary Acquisition

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019) Anyi, Chidimma Lois

Success in language learning is largely dependent on the ability to acquire vocabulary in the second language. Sadly, vocabulary acquisition appears to be one of the more challenging aspects of language learning. In recent times, educators try to facilitate second language vocabulary acquisition using educational technology. One of such tools used is game-based learning. This study seeks to explore the effectiveness of digital games in second language vocabulary learning.
Mobile Technologies for Frontline Health Workers

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-12-18) Gemzer, Erika

This student project aims to investigate the appetite for and applicability of mobile technologies for the training and education, coaching, and professional development of frontline health workers. The fundamental research questions addressed with the research presented in this paper are twofold. First, what are the attitudes and perceptions of hospital-based frontline health workers toward the applicability of mobile technology for their training and education, coaching, and professional development? Second, do their attitudes and perceptions differ based on role, age, geography, current use of mobile technologies at work, or appetite toward mobile technology for personal use?
Temperature Controlled Transport of Vaccines by Drone In Developing Countries

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-05) Blount, Wendy

According to the World Health Organization, vaccines must be transported within a temperature window of 2C to 8C. Much of the world's population does not have access to all season roads. Mountainous regions and regions experiencing violent conflict present challenges to vaccine delivery. Delivering vaccines by drone circumvents many of these problems. The typical drone can carry a 2kg payload. The current method for cooling vaccines is by conditioned ice pack. However, conditioned ice packs are heavy and consume approximately 1/3 or more of the drone's limited payload capacity. This project focuses on developing a more efficient way to keep vaccines cool within a drone's small payload, during transport between facilities regional healthcare facilities and smaller local facilities. The container will need to be packed by a regional worker at the origination point and unpacked by a local worker at the other end. The container needs to be easy to open and close. It needs to be easy to load. It cannot exceed a specific weight and cannot exceed a specific temperature window. Methods researched include redeveloping the ice packs and using simple insulation to finally develop a container that maintains a specific temperature range during transport more efficiently than current conditioned ice packs.
Piana High-Performance Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) Microservice Framework

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-12) Wang, Yu

The project “Piazzalytics” for the time being is, 1) to create a set of RestFul APIs to allow users extracting the entire online post information with the same hierarchical manner, 2) to persist the extracted data in the database and monitor the post communication, 3) to provide a functionality of notifying the users when new target posts/responses with desired keywords are created, and 4) finally to offer several analytical data services via the Restful APIs, including the historical records in the data warehouse and the data differential features. Although the current Piana data micro service project is still in its proof-of-concept stage, however, it has been already able to provide any further Piazza-related projects with the Piazza data service. Having said, this project could be even better if the JSON data from the Piazza could be further cleaned and reformatted to remove any irrelevant parts.
Web Application to Teach Elementary School Students Sentence Parts via Diagramming

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-12) Scherer, Carl Geary, Jr.

While many educators avoid the subject of diagramming sentences when teaching English sentence parts and grammar, this paper presents a web application that leverages simplified sentence diagramming to teach or reinforce existing knowledge of sentence parts in elementary school students. It uses a visual depiction of sentences that has several levels of complexity to appeal to varying age students and provides feedback that mimics an Intelligent Tutoring System to help students complete their learning goals.
ITS Analyzers - Meta-Analysis Research on the Effectiveness of Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) Products

(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-12) Rao, Vinay ; Guin, Gouri

Evaluation of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) is an important area of research in current educational practices. There are many work has been done to analyse the effectiveness of various ITS products to aid student education. We focused on top 3 ITS products to compare and analyse individual ITS product outcome and its effectiveness. Additionally, we explored the current problems that may exist with measuring the effectiveness of ITS by conducting research study on different methods that are currently used.
