ConstrucTED : Constructing Tailored Educational Datasets From Online Courses

ConstrucTED is a tool built on top of Google APIs, enabling the efficient creation of custom educational datasets from YouTube playlists. It creates datasets from video course transcripts, providing a ready-to-use solution that significantly shortens the time required to create such datasets. The resulting datasets are versatile and suitable for tasks like classification and learning path creation.

Installation

Download the project then use the package manager pip to install the dependencies.

bash pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

• Before using ConstrucTED, you should first get a Google API personal key.
• Create a file called .env in the base of the project and add this line with your perosnal API key : bash GOOGLE_API_KEY='XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
• You can run the main.ipynb file to create datasets.
• There are some pre-made input files in the Input folder. You can use these sample input files to create datasets.
• The datasets that can be created using these sample input files are available in the Output folder for direct usage.
• You can create your own input files and use them in the code python input_file = 'path_to_your_input_file' my_dataset.create_series(input_file) my_dataset.save(path='path_to_an output_location')
• This code generates three files as explained in the article : series.csv, episodes.csv, and chapters.csv.
• These files contain the created dataset.
