In this paper we present theory and experiments on the algebraic decision diagrams (ADDs). These extend BDD's by allowing values from an arbitrary finite domain to be associated with terminal nodes. We a treatment founded in Boolean algebras discuss algorithms results applications like matrix multiplication shortest path algorithms. Furthermore, outline possible of ADD's logic synthesis, formal verification, testing digital systems.

Abstract There is little debate regarding the importance of student feedback for improving learning process. However, there remain significant workload barriers instructors that impede their capacity to provide timely and meaningful feedback. The increasing role technology playing in education space may novel solutions this impediment. As students interact with various technologies course study, they create digital traces can be captured analysed. These form new kind data are frequently used...

The use of analytic methods for extracting learning strategies from trace data has attracted considerable attention in the literature. However, there is a paucity research examining any association between extracted and responses to well-established self-report instruments performance scores. This paper focuses on link identified student reported approaches learning. reports findings study conducted scope an undergraduate engineering course (N=144) that followed flipped classroom design....

Self-regulated learning theories are used to understand the reasons for different levels of university student academic performance. Similarly, analytics research proposes combination detailed data traces derived from technology-mediated tasks with a variety algorithms predict The former approach is designed provide meaningful pedagogical guidance, while latter identify event patterns and relations that can be translated into actionable remediation. benefits both approaches have motivated...

Abstract Learning analytics (LA) has demonstrated great potential in improving teaching quality, learning experience and administrative efficiency. However, the adoption of LA higher education is often beset by challenges areas such as resources, stakeholder buy‐in, ethics privacy. Addressing these a complex system requires agile leadership that responsive to pressures environment capable managing conflicts. This paper examines processes among 21 UK institutions using complexity theory...

The learning analytics community has matured significantly over the past few years as a middle space where technology and pedagogy combine to support experiences. To continue grow connect these perspectives, research needs move beyond level of basic actions. This means exploring use data prove richer forms actions, such personalized feedback, or hybrid approaches instructors interpret outputs algorithms select an appropriate course action. paper proposes following three contributions...

Abstract This paper aims to explore time management strategies followed by students in a flipped classroom through the analysis of trace data. Specifically, an exploratory study was conducted on dataset collected three consecutive offerings undergraduate computer engineering course ( N = 1,134). Trace data about activities were initially coded for timeliness activity completion. Such then analysed using agglomerative hierarchical clustering based Ward's algorithm, first order Markov chains,...

Research into self-regulated learning has traditionally relied upon self-reported data. While there is a rich body of literature that extracted invaluable information from such sources, it suffers number shortcomings. For instance, been shown surveys often provide insight students' perceptions about rather than how students actually employ study tactics and strategies. Accordingly, recent research sought to assess strategies and, by extension, their via trace data collected digital...

We used analytics techniques metacognitive and cognitive in data. define three research questions that guide our studies analyzing i) self-assessments of motivation self regulation using standard methods draw a baseline, ii) LMS find traces observable indicators, iii) behaviours over course duration. The results show indicators can better explain self-regulatory...
