Student Model Adjustment Through Random-Restart Hill Climbing
ACTIVEMATH is a web-based intelligent tutoring system (ITS) for studying mathematics. Its course generator, which assembles content to personalized books, strongly depends on the underlying student model. Therefore, a student model is important to make an ITS adaptive. The more accurate it is, the better could be the adaptation. Here we present which parameters can be optimized and how they can...
متن کاملActiveMath – a Learning Platform With Semantic Web Features
ActiveMath is an intelligent e-Learning system that exhibits some Semantic Web features. Its content knowledge representation is a semantic XML dialect for mathematics; semantic search is enabled; some of its components work as a web service and, vice versa, it employs certain foreign web services, e.g., for diagnostic purposes. In this paper, we describes features which have not been presented...
متن کاملLearning from Erroneous Examples
Erroneous examples (ErrEx) that is, worked solutions that include one or more errors that the student is asked to detect, explain, and/or correct have been rarely investigated as a teaching strategy in mathematics. On the contrary, correct worked examples have been the focus of research on mathematics and science problem solving, e.g. (4). Yet, the scarce work on ErrEx in mathematics has provid...
متن کاملCombining Evaluative and Generative Diagnosis in ACTIVEMATH
Generative and evaluative approaches are two different ways of diagnosing students’ input that have been realized in a number of intelligent tutoring systems. We describe how ActiveMath’s exercise subsystem realizes both types of diagnosis and how it can combine them. A framework for distribution of diagnostic services is extending the existing web-service approach to mathematical services with...
متن کاملSupporting Flexible Competency Frameworks
Since Bloom’s initial work on competencies in 1956, various competency systems have been designed and used to assess students’ competencies. Different pedagogical researchers and stakeholders prefer different systems. We have been collaborating with them. Such systems are essential for the adaptation by adaptive intelligent tutoring systems. Now, this paper presents how ActiveMath integrates se...
