Query: Analysis of Student Behaviour in Habitable Worlds Using Continuous
  Representation Visualization   We introduce a novel approach to visualizing temporal clickstream behaviour
in the context of a degree-satisfying online course, Habitable Worlds, offered
through Arizona State University. The current practice for visualizing
behaviour within a digital learning environment has been to generate plots
based on hand engineered or coded features using domain knowledge. While this
approach has been effective in relating behaviour to known phenomena, features
crafted from domain knowledge are not likely well suited to make unfamiliar
phenomena salient and thus can preclude discovery. We introduce a methodology
for organically surfacing behavioural regularities from clickstream data,
conducting an expert in-the-loop hyperparameter search, and identifying
anticipated as well as newly discovered patterns of behaviour. While these
visualization techniques have been used before in the broader machine learning
community to better understand neural networks and relationships between word
vectors, we apply them to online behavioural learner data and go a step
further; exploring the impact of the parameters of the model on producing
tangible, non-trivial observations of behaviour that are suggestive of
pedagogical improvement to the course designers and instructors. The
methodology introduced in this paper led to an improved understanding of
passing and non-passing student behaviour in the course and is widely
applicable to other datasets of clickstream activity where investigators and
stakeholders wish to organically surface principal patterns of behaviour.
