In “flipped classes” students use technology at home to watch online video lectures, demonstrations, and explanations of assignments. Class time is spent doing what is traditionally called “homework." The teacher in a flipped classroom is a learning facilitator, able to work one-to-one with students, clarify assignments, and offer help as needed. Classmates can work together on in-class assignm...

In this paper we present a novel featureenriched approach that learns to detect the conversation focus of threaded discussions by combining NLP analysis and IR techniques. Using the graph-based algorithm HITS, we integrate different features such as lexical similarity, poster trustworthiness, and speech act analysis of human conversations with featureoriented link generation functions. It is th...

Qualitative thematic content analysis was used to analyze the fin...
