Abstract

The Learning Analytics is a research area that seeks to understand learning processes by using the various computer science techniques. In this paper, we focus on the analysis of certain classroom situations, such as lecturings, performing exercises, and testing. These analyses do not directory apply to students; however, they are very useful for analyzing and interpreting students’ behaviors in the classroom. This is significant as students’ behaviors can affect very real changes in classroom situations. This paper employs the Convolutional Neural Networks to identify various classroom situations from the spectrograms of environmental sounds in the classroom. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed systems.
