Graduate Attribute Information Analysis system (GAIA) - from assessment analytics to continuous program improvement: Use of student assessment data in curriculum development and program improvement
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Graduate Attribute Information Analysis system (GAIA) is developed at the University of Ottawa to support graduate attribute analysis for continuous program improvement. It supports collection, management, analysis and visualization of graduate attributes. GAIA is part of ongoing research on the use of assessment data to improving student performance and to support curriculum and program development. In this paper, we introduce the structure of GAIA, its main actors and their roles, discuss information analysis and data processing and show the types of reports it generates. We illustrate the main features of GAIA - user friendly interface, simplification of data collection process, improved visualization of reports in graph and table form, historic trend analysis and comparisons at both the program and course level. As an analytical tool, GAIA accommodates quantitative and qualitative data and flexibly integrates internal and external indicators. It also supports weighted calculations for performance indicators which involve more than one component.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
