Since its introduction in 2011, there have been over 4,000 MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) on various subjects on the Web, serving over 35 million learners. MOOCs have shown the ability to transcend time and space, democratize knowledge dissemination, and bring the best education in the world to every learner. However, the disparate distances between participants, the size of the learner population, and the heterogeneity of the learners’ backgrounds make it extremely difficult for instructors to interact with the learners in a timely manner, which adversely affects learning experience and outcome. To address the challenges, in this thesis, we propose a framework: educational content linking. By linking and organizing pieces of learning content scattered in various course materials into an easily accessible structure, we hypothesize that this framework can provide learners guidance and improve content navigation. Since most instruction and knowledge acquisition in MOOCs takes place when learners are surveying course materials, better content navigation may help learners find supporting information to resolve their confusion and thus improve learning outcome and experience. To support our conjecture, we present end-to-end studies to investigate our frame- work around two research questions. We first ask, can manually generated linking improve learning? For investigating this question, we choose two STEM courses, statistics and programming language, and demonstrate how the annotation of link- ing among course materials can be done with collaboration between course staff and online workers. With the annotation, we implement an interface that can present learning materials and visualize the linking among them simultaneously. We observe that, in a large-scale user study, this interface enables users to search for desired course materials more efficiently, and retain more concepts more readily. This result supports the notion that manual linking can indeed improve learning outcomes. Sec- ond, we ask, can learning content be generated with machine learning methods? For this question, we propose an automatic content linking algorithm based on conditional random fields. We demonstrate that automatically generated linking can still lead to better learning, although the magnitude of the improvement over the unlinked interface is smaller. We conclude that our linking framework can be implemented at scale with machine learning techniques.

The last decade has seen significant progress in technology, particularly in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, which have had a profound impact on numerous industries, including education. The integration of technology in education has fundamentally altered the landscape of learning where data becomes a crucial component to provide insights into for example how students learn, when and where additional support is needed. Employing educational data is proving to be a catalyst for innovation in education, opening up new possibilities for students and educators alike. The focus of this Research Topic is to explore the impact of recent technological innovations and advances (such as AI, AI-powered Chatbots, Learning Analytics, Virtual and Augmented Reality, and remote and virtual labs) on different education systems, both from the educational and the psychological perspective. The scope is twofold; on the one hand, examining the use of these advanced technologies in learning and teaching activities; and on the other hand; teaching students about these technologies and understanding the impact of including them in new education policies and curricula (including teaching of AI, data science, analytics and the ethical implications of data). The Research Topic seeks to provide insightful and thought-provoking perspectives on how technology is being utilized to enhance the learning experience for students of all ages, Both in higher education and K12 education and their transition to higher education. By gathering experts in psychology, education, and technology, this Research Topic aims to present research findings and best practices and to stimulate discussions on the role of technology in shaping the future of education. The ultimate objective is to inspire innovation and to improve the education of future generations through advanced technologies.
