Abstract

Students attending lectures in universities suffer from a weak structural awareness on lecture content. According to learning theories, structural awareness is a relevant factor to association and comprehension of new learning inputs. We synthesize semantic structures from non annotated lecture slides using Topic Modeling algorithms to identify relevant terms and relate them in force-directed graphs. The synthesized graphs provide a structural overview on the topic distribution and relations of non annotated sequential lecture slides.
