Detecting the Confusion of Students in Massive Open Online Courses Using EEG
Xiuping Men, Xia Li
Abstract
Confusion among students hinders learning and contributes to demotivation and disinterest in the course materials. However, it takes a lot of time and resources to identify confused pupils in extensive courses. Using LSTM and Attention, we suggest a deep learning model for monitoring students' confusion by EEG signals from students when they watching MOOC videos. The model obtained an accuracy of 0.82 on the EEG data, exceeding the previous experimental results for this dataset. Experiments show that the attention mechanism picks up on the significance of various features on prediction results. It can effectively solve the overfitting problem and improve the model classification effect.
