Can a New Smartphone App Predict GPA?

Dartmouth College researchers say a new app they have created can predict with great precision the grade point averages of students. The app tracks student behaviors associated with higher or lower GPAs. Students need to report their activities, as the app infers what they are doing and can tell when students are studying, partying or sleeping, among other activities. The findings will be presented this week at the International Conference on Web and Social Media. The research may be found here, and a Dartmouth video that explains the findings is below.
