The invention relates to a method and device for predicting online open course learner satisfaction and
electronic equipment, and the method comprises the steps: predicting the online open course satisfaction of students through an MLP and RBF neural
network model by using a virtual learning environment of a large-scale
online teaching and learning platform and combining
learning behavior data in a
learning management system (LMS); the model comprises a
data acquisition and
processing module, a
multilayer perceptron (MLP) module, a
radial basis function (RBF) neural
network module, a classification tree module and a control block, the
data acquisition and
processing module is used for generating a training and testing
data set, and the MLP and RBF neural
network model predicts the satisfaction degree of a learner. The MLP model carries out
feature extraction through a multi-layer
perceptron structure and different activation functions, the RBF model measures the distance between input data and a center by using a
radial basis function to realize
feature extraction, the classification tree is used for judging a prediction model to which a
data point belongs, the control block integrates features from the MLP and RBF neural network models, and the RBF model is used for determining a prediction model to which the
data point belongs. Experimental results show that the prediction accuracy of low-satisfaction-degree learners and high-satisfaction-degree learners can be improved at the same time through the combination scheme of the MLP and the RBF, the method can be applied to learner satisfaction degree prediction of various online open courses, an educational institution is helped to know the satisfaction degree condition of students in time, course design and teaching strategies are optimized, and the teaching efficiency is improved. And important support is provided for teaching reform and optimization in the field of online education.
