Learning Analytics for Academic Writing through Automatic Identification of Meta-discourse
… educators could benefit from the available automated textual analysis which can detect meta-discourse. However, previous work has not shown whether these technologies can be used to analyse student writing reliably. The aim of this thesis therefore has been to understand how automated …
