Evaluating Online Learning Adaptability in Students Using Machine Learning-Based Techniques: A Novel Analytical Approach

Journal Title: Education Science and Management - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

The widespread adoption of Learning Management Systems (LMSs) in educational contexts, underscored by their critical role in facilitating cloud-based training across diverse settings, serves as the foundation of this investigation. In the era of increasing integration of technology within higher education, a notable reduction in the costs associated with the creation of online content has been observed. The shift towards remote learning, precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has highlighted the indispensable nature of LMSs in the delivery of specialized content, the application of varied pedagogical strategies, and the promotion of student engagement. Adaptability, defined as the ability to adjust behavior, cognition, and emotional responses in the face of new circumstances, has been recognized as a key factor in the success of online learning. This study employs sophisticated Machine Learning Techniques (MLTs) to explore the determinants of student adaptability, introducing the novel framework of Online Learner Adaptability Assessment using MLTs (OLAMLTs). Through the analysis of comprehensive datasets, which include indicators of student behavior, performance, and engagement within online platforms, MLTs facilitate the identification of patterns and correlations pertinent to adaptability. The OLAMLTs framework applies a retrospective analysis to variables such as technological proficiency, motivation, and self-regulatory capabilities, enabling the provision of customized recommendations for educators. By facilitating targeted educational interventions, the study seeks to address the disparity between the need for adaptable learners and the availability of tools designed to foster this critical attribute. The ultimate aim is to augment the resilience and efficacy of online learning platforms in anticipation of future disruptions, including pandemics or other unforeseen challenges. This research contributes to the ongoing efforts to develop a more adaptive and resilient online learning landscape, marking a significant advancement in the fields of educational technology and pedagogy.
