Smartphone app predicts GPA
If you’re a college student wondering how your study and party habits will affect your GPA, wonder no longer. Dartmouth researchers and their colleagues have built the first app that automatically predicts college students’ grade point average based on their smartphone data.
The findings offer new ways to improve students’ performance, providing real-time feedback on their studying, partying, sleeping, exercising and other conscious and unconscious behaviors to help them stay on track academically.
Dartmouth computer science Professor Andrew Campbell, senior author of the SmartGPA study, will present preliminary findings on May 27 in a keynote address at the International Conference on Web and Social Media (ICWSM-15) in Oxford, England. The full findings will be presented Sept. 7-11 at the ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2015) in Osaka, Japan.
