Publications

Summary

My work applies data analytics and data mining techniques to higher education data with a particular emphasis on measuring student self-regulation and indicators of engagement in both traditional and massive open online environments. I publish broadly in both applied computer science venues (e.g. Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference, Computers & Education, Journal of Learning Analytics) as well as in education venues (e.g. The International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning).
