Exposing Students to New Terminologies While Collecting Browsing Search Data (Best Technical Paper)

Information overload is a well-known problem that generally occurs when searching for information online. To reduce this effect having prior knowledge on the domain and also a searching strategy is critical. Obtaining such qualities can be challenging for students since they are still learning about various domains and might not be familiar with the domain-specific keywords. In this paper, we are proposing a framework that aims to assist students to have a richer list of keyphrases that are pertinent to a domain under study and provide a mechanism for lectures to understand what search strategies their students are adopting. The proposed framework includes a Google Chrome Extension, a background and a remote server. The Google Chrome Extension is utilized to collect, process browsing data and generate reports containing keyphrases searched by students. The results of the user evaluation were compared with a similar framework (TextRank). The results indicate that our framework performed better in terms of accuracy of keyphrases and response time.
