Abstract

As online educational programs scale, monitoring peer collaboration in platforms like BlueJeans for plagiarism becomes difficult. Recent studies indicate that students are less likely to cheat if presented with direct warning messages prior to engaging in online activities. In this work, we present Bluejeans codE Leak deTection (BELT), a system that monitors online BlueJeans meetings for shared code and sends timely warning messages to meeting participants. To test BELT's robustness as an online proctor, we evaluate its code-text disambiguation, code detection from images of varying quality, and code detection from videos of varying resolution. We conclude this work by pinpointing areas of improvement and briefly discuss possible extensions for future work.

As online educational programs scale, monitoring peer collaboration in platforms like BlueJeans for plagiarism becomes\r\ndifficult. Recent studies indicate that students are less likely to cheat if presented with direct warning messages prior to engaging in online activities. In this talk, we present Bluejeans codE Leak deTection (BELT), a system that monitors online BlueJeans meetings for shared code and sends timely warning messages to meeting participants. We show a demo of BELT in action and conclude the presentation by discussing next steps for this work in progress.

Revising Learner Misconceptions Without Feedback: Prompting for Reflection on Anomalies
CHI '16: Proceedings of the 2016 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

The Internet has enabled learning at scale, from Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to Wikipedia. But online learners may become passive, instead of actively constructing knowledge and revising their beliefs in light of new facts. Instructors cannot ...
Context counts

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) require individual learners to self-regulate their own learning, determining when, how and with what content and activities they engage. However, MOOCs attract a diverse range of learners, from a variety of learning ...
