Before and during COVID-19: A Cohesion Network Analysis of students’ online participation in moodle courses

作者:

Highlights:

• We evaluate students' behaviors before and during COVID-19 as a plug-in to Moodle.

• A RNN combines global features with time series analysis to predict student grades.

• Multiple sociograms are generated to observe interaction patterns.

• A significant increase in online participation is observed during the pandemic.

• The prediction model obtained an R2 of 0.27 and 0.34 for the two academic years.
