The Interactive Maintenance of Open Learner Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Opening the learner model is a process involving the learner as a collaborator in building a model of his beliefs. The interaction plays a crucial role here since it provides both the system and the learner with a medium to reflect on the learner’s beliefs. In this paper we describe a computational framework for the interactive maintenance of open learner models. It adopts some approaches from human-human interaction and considers the two main issues of the interaction – the language for communication and the underlying dialogue model. We describe a communication language that graphically externalises the learner's beliefs. An approach based on dialogue games is adapted to manage the moves in an interactive diagnostic dialogue. The framework is exemplified in STyLE-OLM, an open learner modelling component in a scientific terminology learning environment.

Applying Interactive Open Learner Models to Learning Technical Terminology
Our work explores an interactive open learner modelling (IOLM) approach where learner diagnosis is considered as an interactive process involving both a computer system and a learner that play symmetrical (to a certain extent) roles and construct together the learner model. The paper presents an application of IOLM for diagnosing and fostering a learner's conceptual understanding in a terminolo...
متن کاملInteractive Event: From a Virtual Village to an Open Learner Model with Next-TELL
With the range of educational tools available it is now realistic for learner models to take account of broader information, and there are strong arguments for placing open learner models in the centre of environments with diverse sources of data [1],[2],[3]. This Interactive Event will demonstrate the Next-TELL approach to facilitating teachers’ use of data from a variety of sources, and will ...
متن کاملA Learner Model Reason Maintenance System
Learner Modeling is a dynamic process. Creating and maintaining models of learners by an interactive system is not a precise task, and it requires guesses and abductive generation of explanation of the learners’ actions. In addition, learners change their behavior while interacting with the system. Therefore, these systems need some mechanisms to maintain the rationality of the learner models c...
متن کاملThe Effect of Predicting Expertise in Open Learner Modeling
Learner’s self-awareness of the breadth and depth of their expertise is crucial for self-regulated learning. Further, of learners report self-knowledge assessments to teaching systems, this can be used to adapt teaching to them. These reasons make it valuable to enable learners to quickly and easily create such models and to improve them. Following the trend to open these models to learners, we...
متن کاملMaintaining Diagnostic Interactions that Promote Learners' Reflection
This paper presents an approach to dynamically extract individual learner models by engaging learners in diagnostic interactions. A framework for maintaining diagnostic dialogues based on approaches known as dialogue games is outlined and illustrated in STyLE-OLM an interactive open learner modelling system. The potential for encouraging learners' reflection is discussed based on an example dia...
