Boosting the Learning Process with Progressive Performance Prediction

A prediction system to early detect learning problems is presented. The starting point is a gamified learning system from which a massive set of usage and learning data is collected. They are analyzed using Machine Learning techniques and a prediction of each student’s performance is obtained. The information is weekly presented as a progression chart, with valuable information about students’ progression. The system has a high degree of automation, is progressive, uses learning outcomes as well as usage data, allows the evaluation and prediction of the acquired skills, and contributes to a truly formative assessment.
