ConceptThread: Visualizing Threaded Concepts in MOOC Videos
Abstract:
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) platforms are becoming increasingly popular in recent years. Online learners need to watch the whole course video on MOOC platforms to learn the underlying new knowledge, which is often tedious and time-consuming due to the lack of a quick overview of the covered knowledge and their structures. In this article, we propose ConceptThread, a visual analytics approach to effectively show the concepts and the relations among them to facilitate effective online learning. Specifically, given that the majority of MOOC videos contain slides, we first leverage video processing and speech analysis techniques, including shot recognition, speech recognition and topic modeling, to extract core knowledge concepts and construct the hierarchical and temporal relations among them. Then, by using a metaphor of thread, we present a novel visualization to intuitively display the concepts based on video sequential flow, and enable learners to perform interactive visual exploration of concepts. We conducted a quantitative study, two case studies, and a user study to extensively evaluate ConceptThread. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and usability of ConceptThread in providing online learners with a quick understanding of the knowledge content of MOOC videos.

E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...
