EDM and LA are two fields that study how to use facts to get more academic learning and enhance the students’ entire performance. Both areas are concerned with a broad range of issues such as curriculum strategies, coaching, mental well-being of students, learning motivation, and academic achievement. The COVID-19 pandemic highly disrupted the higher education sector and shifted the old, chalk-talk teaching-learning model to an online learning format. This meant that the structure and nature of teaching, learning, assessment, and feedback methodologies also changes. With the empowerment in technology, timely and effective feedback is provided by the teachers to achieve greater learning. Through these studies, it is noted that negative feedback discourages the effort and achievement of learners, so it should be carefully crafted and delivered. In this work, a new methodology is planned based on an improved FCN (fully connected network). The key impartial of the proposed method is to regulate the assessment of the quality of students in Higher Education HE. The proposed methodology is composed of different phases: The first phase is data acquisition, in which the data are gathered from various sources for training and testing of the proposed method. The second phase is data orientation, in which the information is oriented in a specific file format. After that, data are cleaned, and preprocessing methods are applied. In the fourth phase, a machine learning-based model is developed to predict student’s academic performance. The fully connected neural network is enhanced with LA to better assess student quality in higher education. The proposed work is evaluated with the OULAD database, which was gathered from the students of Open University. The proposed methodology has attained an accuracy of 84%, more significant than the conventional ANN model accuracy rate. The proposed methodology’s Recall, F1-score, and precision rates are 0.88, 0.91, and 0.93, respectively. |
