Prediction of Student Performance Using Linear Regression

This paper is about how the application of machine Learning have huge impact in teaching and learning for further improvement in learning environment in higher education. Due to the interest of students in online and digital courses increased rapidly websites such as Course Era, Udemy etc became very influential. We implement the new applications of machine learning in teaching and learning considering the students background, students past academic score and considering other attributes. As the sizes of classes are large, it would be difficult to assist each individual student in each open learning course, this can increase the bar of the dropout rate at the end of the course. In this paper we are implementing linear regression which is a machine learning algorithm to predict the student's performance in academics.
