Abstract

This paper proposes a new methodological approach for assessing and leveraging student engagement in a tertiary education course that builds on recent artificial intelligence advancements and the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) model. We describe how, through the design of a course that is based on Moodle and the utilization of different pedagogical and conceptual tools, we collect and process data aiming to enhance the course with techniques that may provide students and tutors with valuable insights and recommendations towards achieving better performance.
