Making sense of learner and learning Big Data: reviewing five years of Data Wrangling at the Open University UK

Most distance learning institutions collect vast amounts of learning data. Making sense of this ‘Big Data’ can be a challenge, in particular when data are stored at different data warehouses and require advanced statistical skills to interpret complex patterns of data. As a leading institute on learning analytics, the Open University UK instigated in 2012 a Data Wrangling initiative. This provided every Faculty with a dedicated academic with expertise data analysis and whose task is to provide strategic, pedagogical and sense-making advice to staff and senior management. Given substantial changes within the OU (e.g. new Faculty structure, real-time dashboards, two large-scale adoptions of predictive analytics approaches, increased reliance on analytics), this embedded case study provides an in-depth review of lessons learned of five years of data wrangling. We will elaborate on the design of the new structure, its strengths and potential weaknesses, and affordances to be adopted by other institutions.     

论贾谊对儒家思想的继承和发展

在我国历史上,英年早逝而能赢得“汉初著名政论家、思想家、文学家”之称的贾谊,是位不多见的人物。观其创作,贾谊在民本思想、“仁”的思想、教育思想等几个方面都对儒家思想有所继承和发展,为董仲舒建立新的儒学体系打下了良好基础。贾谊是促成儒学思想成为国学思想的第一奠基人。     

探索Ax=b的最小二乘解的新算法

本文通过分析列满秩线性方程组Ax=b（A∈R^mxn（m〉n）,rank（A）=n,b∈Rm）最小二乘解的特征,给出一种新的计算最小二乘解的方法。算法的思想基于R^m=R（A） R（A）^⊥,用（A）^⊥的基向量补充到矩阵A中,使A变成非奇异方阵^- A.然后求解非奇异线性方程组A^- x^- =b,而x^- 的前n个分量恰是Ax=b的最小二乘解。     

Objectivity as standardization in data-scientific education policy,technology and governance

ABSTRACT

New data-driven technologies appear to promise a new era of accuracy and objectivity in scientifically-informed educational policy and governance. The data-scientific objectivity sought by education policy, however, is the result of practices of standardization and quantification deployed to settle controversies about the definition and measurement of human qualities by rendering them as categories and numbers. Focusing on the emerging policy agenda of ‘social and emotional learning and skills,’ this paper examines the practices of ‘objectivity-making’ underpinning this new field. Objectivity-making depends on three translations of (1) scientific expertise into standardized and enumerable definitions, (2) standardization into measurement technologies, and (3) the data produced through measurement technologies into objective policy-relevant knowledge, which consolidates a market in SEL technologies. The paper sheds light on knowledge-making practices in the era of big data and policy science, and their enduring reliance on the precarious construction of objectivity as a key legitimator of policy-relevant scientific knowledge and ‘evidence-based’ education governance.

3DV quality model based depth maps for view synthesis in FTV system

Depth maps are used for synthesis virtual view in free-viewpoint television (FTV) systems.When depth maps are derived using existing depth estimation methods,the depth distortions will cause undesirable artifacts in the synthesized views.To solve this problem,a 3D video quality model base depth maps (D-3DV) for virtual view synthesis and depth map coding in the FTV applications is proposed.First,the relationships between distortions in coded depth map and rendered view are derived.Then,a precisely 3DV quali...
