What is it about?
Online classes became important during the pandemic, but it’s hard for teachers to know if students are really understanding the lessons. This study uses language tools to help with that. Teachers and students both take notes during class. Then, a computer checks the notes to see how well students understood the topic and how their understanding changes over time. The system creates easy-to-read reports that show each student’s progress and understanding. This helps teachers improve online teaching and support students better.

Why is it important?
This research is important because online learning is becoming a major part of education, especially during emergencies like pandemics. But in virtual classrooms, it's hard for teachers to tell if students are actually learning or just present in the session. By using Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools to analyze student and teacher notes, this method gives teachers a way to measure each student’s level of understanding. It also shows how a student’s knowledge improves (or doesn’t) over time. This helps teachers: Identify students who are struggling early on Adjust their teaching methods based on how students are responding Encourage more active participation and better note-taking habits Improve the overall quality of online education In short, it makes virtual teaching more personalized, data-driven, and effective, helping students learn better even when they're not in a physical classroom.
