Text Mining in Education
Section: 601

Course Description

This course will provide students with an overview of text mining as an analytical approach in education research, examples of its use in educational contexts, and applied experience with widely adopted tools and techniques (e.g. topic modeling and sentiment analysis). Students develop practical skills in the collection, analysis, and reporting of text data form sources such as Learning Management Systems, social media, and other online sources. Students can complete projects using a programming approach with R, a popular free open source software program for data science, or using non-programming point-and-click tools (i.e., SAS Visual Text Analytics).
