Faculty Profiles
Luc Paquette is an assistant professor in the department of curriculum & instruction. He completed his PhD in computer science at the University of Sherbrooke where he studied the design knowledge representations for intelligent tutoring systems and the use of those representations to automatically generate pedagogical content. After his PhD, professor Paquette worked as a post-doctoral research associate at Teachers College, Columbia University where he used educational data mining techniques and knowledge engineering techniques to study the behavior of students using digital learning environment.
Ph.D., Computer Science, University of Sherbrooke, 2013
Professor Paquette is interested in the study of students' behaviors as they use digital learning environments. To achieve this objective, he applies educational data mining, learning analytics and knowledge engineering approaches to identify and model pedagogically relevant behaviors. Professor Paquette has studied multiple different behaviors, including misuse of digital learning environments, emotions, self-regulated learning and collaborative learning, across varied environments, including Intelligent Tutoring Systems, educational games, online courses and scientific simulation microworlds. He is interested in the usage of models of student behavior to study the relationship between those behaviors and learning outcomes, improve the design of digital learning environments and support the teachers’ usage of those environments in their classroom.

Students will learn about the fundamentals of how programs are executed and how to store and process data using computers. They will be introduced to the concepts of algorithms, algorithm execution time, and the core concepts of object-oriented programming.
Intro to Educ Data Mining (CI 507) Intensive examination of problems and trends in the subject fields.
Methods of Educational Inquiry (CI 550) Offers a graduate-level introduction to research in education, including quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods designs and approaches. Key concepts include: identifying a research problem, reviewing the literature, design and analysis, communicating evidence, and the ethics of research. Students should gain the ability to effectively evaluate and critique design/methods sections of research publications; plan and design research studies; and organize a presentation of research to an audience of peers.
