An AI toolkit to support teacher reflection

Published in International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2022

This paper presents a novel application of LSTM networks to student data. We discuss how this novel application could be used to create a AI toolkit to support teacher reflection on their practice and course design.
