Abstract

La attività laboratoriali costituiscono oggi una parte significativa delle esperienze didattiche degli studenti. Di conseguenza, è interessante osservare come poter meglio supportare tali attività usando le tecnologie digitali. In questo articolo, gli autori presentano un approccio basato sulle Famiglie Microsoft e sulle reti neurali artificiali che consente di analizzare i tracciati dell’uso dei computer nel laboratorio per identificare gli studenti in difficoltà e allertare docenti e tutor per attuare eventuali azioni correttive. Questo lavoro dimostra come le reti neurali artificiali consentano l’analisi delle attività degli studenti anche al di fuori di un Learning Management System e senza aver alcuna cognizione di relazioni algoritmiche tra tali tracciati e le possibili future performance.
