In MOOCs, identifying urgent comments on discussion forums is an ongoing challenge. Whilst urgent comments require immediate reactions from instructors, to improve interaction with their learners, and potentially reducing drop-out rates—the task is d...

Serendipitous Gains of Explaining a Classifier - Artificial versus Human Performance and Annotator Support in an Urgent Instructor-Intervention Model for MOOCs. Paper presented at HT '23: 34th ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media, Rome Italy

Determining when instructor intervention is needed, based on learners’ comments and their urgency in massive open online course (MOOC) environments, is a known challenge. To solve this challenge, prior art used autonomous machine learning (ML) models...
