In the research-to-practice cycle, instructors would informthemselves about innovative practices emerging from others’ research, improve teaching plansdrawing on new information, and assess student outcomes and feed back successful practices(and lessons learned) to the research community. This paradigm has a historical root in modelingengineering education after traditional sciences that have greater consensus on theories andmethods, with the goal of elevating engineering education practice to “research” that isgeneralizable and transferable [1]. Research in the wider institutional context, such as in themandate for institutional review boards (IRBs) in the US, is further understood as “a systematicinvestigation […] to develop or

For higher education institutions, early detection of at-risk students isessential for planning and providing the appropriate remedial services that students need in atimely manner.Various approaches to student performance prediction have been explored. Some studies requiredesigning specific randomized experiments [1], [2], [4], [6], while others, like this study, focuson utilizing data gathered by ubiquitous Learning Management Systems (LMSs) based onstudent activities and interactions with course materials [3], [8], [9].
