Predictive Analytics for Learner-Outcome Prediction

Independent Researcher · Manuscript in preparation

Using the Open University Learning Analytics Dataset (OULAD) to predict at-risk learners from early engagement data. Compared Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and XGBoost — XGBoost performed best (macro F1 0.574, AUC 0.858). Sketching an LLM-based feedback architecture as a future direction, aimed at extending this work toward programming-specific education data.
