Learning & Assessment

 

In this project we investigate the fundamental trade-off involved with providing an educational platform for both learning and assessment, and propose strategies to ensure academic integrity in a MOOC-based program

Contribution:

We propose a framework to clearly distinguish the learning from the assessment space in MOOCs. We identify different strategies to prevent academic integrity and implement detection algorithms to catch honor code violations.
