Abstract

This study explores the use of artificial intelligence to improve active retrieval and retention in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). We developed an AI-driven system that generates learning cards to facilitate active recall and utilize spaced repetition. The system was tested with a group of students and instructors, and the results showed significant improvements in memory retention and overall satisfaction. Expert reviews and participant feedback highlighted the system’s effectiveness in producing accurate and relevant learning cards. Despite promising outcomes, challenges with personalization and language complexity were identified, which will be addressed in future work. This research underscores the potential of AI-driven tools to enhance online learning, offering scalable and personalized solutions that can improve educational outcomes and engagement in MOOCs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
