This study is focused on the development of an instrument for the measurement of learning engagement. It evaluates engagement as a function of students' attitudes displayed in form of concentration on or distraction from learning based on the pedagogy being employed by the teacher. The instrument, Code for Students' Performance Measures (COSPERM) is designed to provide a measure of student engagements within different pedagogies and especially in learning settings that employ technology-based modes. The COSPERM validation process involves different pedagogies as well as live and recorded observations. COSPERM is content-validated and inter-observer agreement and intra-observer reliability measures established through Cohen's kappa are consistently high for item-by-item as well as whole observer matches showing very good agreement and a minimum of 0.418 (moderate reliability). This shows the COSPERM is a reliable instrument employable in either live or recorded observations. It can also be reliably employed by single or multiple observers.

The use of case-based instruction in professional fields, such as law has been around since the late 1800s;however, the use of cases in engineering has only been around since the 1950s with their earliest implementation in Civil and Chemical engineering. Research on the implementation of case studies in engineering has mainly focused on student perception at the end of a course. There is limited research on students' perceptions of case studies as compared to traditional lecture approach. This paper presents results from a study that examined this relationship between students' perceptions and actual learning performance for lecture and case-based instruction. Specifically, we addressed the following research question: To what extent do students differ in their perceptions of their learning confidence and engagement connections across lecture and case-based instruction? We found that overall students found cases to be more engaging as compared to traditional lecture;however, in one case students found lecture to increase their learning more than cases.

Recent developments in learning Analytics have attracted much attention from researchers and practitioners, as well as diverse stakeholders, in exploring the potential for learning Analytics to enhance learning and teaching practices. Hence, this paper presents a literature review of the use of the learning Analytics Intervention implemented in various educational institutions in order to improve students' success and engagement in their learning, particularly for at-risk students. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of how learning Analytics Intervention has been utilised in the educational institution, the types of theory applied in the intervention and what tools are used in the intervention. Additionally, the application of learning Analytics Intervention, its purpose, effects and examples are also discussed in this paper. The findings show that most of the learning Analytics Interventions have an impact on students' success in their learning, although some of them have little impact or no significant effect, and various learning Analytics tools and strategies are discovered. Lastly, it is suggested that further learning Analytics Interventions should be developed in order to meet the needs of students.

Literature reports that educational programs tend to favor knowledge conformation rather than knowledge construction;however, Computer Supported Collaborative learning (CSCL) is a powerful pedagogical strategy that encourages students to focus more on their knowledge construction. In this paper, we will discuss on the purpose of this study which is to investigate the potential impact of the characteristics from the CSCL learning approach used in the Collaborative Portfolio Assessment System (CPA) prototype system to assist students' knowledge construction during the process of teaching and learning. The CPA prototype system is an educational learning system develops to help the teachers and students in managing School Based Assessment (SBA) in selected secondary school in Malaysia. This proposed research study will be carried out in four weeks and will involve 30 form one students that enrolled in History class using this CPA prototype system during their learning process. This study incorporated the pre experimental one group pre-test post-test design and the instruments used are questionnaire and performance test. We hope that the finding of this study can assist the teacher about the advantages of CSCL approach for students' knowledge construction as an improvement in teaching methods for teachers and also improve students' learning especially in SBA environment at schools.

Multi-party computing (MPC) has been gaining popularity as a secure computing model over the past few years. However, prior works have demonstrated that MPC protocols still pay substantial performance penalties compared to plaintext, particularly when applied to ML algorithms. The overhead is due to added computation and communication costs. Prior studies, as well as our own analysis, found that most MPC protocols today sequentially perform communication and computation. The participating parties must compute on their shares first and then perform data communication to allow the distribution of new secret shares before proceeding to the next computation step. In this work, we show that serialization is unnecessary, particularly in the context of ML computations (both in Convolutional neural networks and in Transformer-based models). We demonstrate that it is possible to carefully orchestrate the computation and communication steps to *** propose MPC-Pipe, an efficient MPC system for both training and inference of ML workloads, which pipelines computations and communications in an MPC protocol during the online phase. MPC-Pipe proposes three pipeline schemes to optimize the online phase of ML in the semi-honest majority adversary setting. The three pipeline schemes are 1) inter-linear pipeline, 2) inner-layer pipeline, and 3) inter-batch pipeline. Inter-linear pipeline focuses on linear layers; inner-layer pipeline focuses on non-linear layers; inter-batch pipeline focuses on communication and computation overlaps in different input batches. We implement MPC-Pipe by augmenting a modified version of CrypTen, which separates online and offline phases. We evaluate the end-to-end system performance benefits of the online phase of MPC using deep neural networks (VGG16, ResNet50) and Transformers using different network settings. We show that MPC-Pipe can improve the throughput and latency of ML workloads.

Literature suggests that inductive learning methods are more effective than deductive learning techniques. Discovery learning with autonomous learning is a well known technique for improving student engagement and learning. We report our results of involving final year students in defining their exercises in the lab or for assignments, given a set of learning outcomes. Before the start of the course, we make the students aware of the syllabus and learning outcomes for the course. To define the lab / assignment tasks, the students are given the freedom to search and select technologies and tools based on current trends, using Internet resources. We further permit the students to revisit and revise the task list during the course. The faculty member reviews the task list to ensure appropriate level of complexity. Our results show that students are able to select challenging assignments, and execute them well, when they are involved in defining the learning tasks. Our preliminary results are for a specific final year engineering elective course which involved lab work and assignments. We feel that the approach can be applied to different engineering courses having a similar pattern. We share our views on applying the technique to a course which could be useful in the Indian context.
