Inspecting and Visualizing Distributed Bayesian Student Models

چکیده
Bayesian Belief Networks provide a principled, mathematically sound, and logically rational mechanism to represent student models. The belief net backbone structure proposed by Reye [14,15] offers a practical way to represent and update Bayesian student models describing both cognitive and social aspects of the learner. Considering students as active participants in the modelling process, this paper explores visualization and inspectability issues of Bayesian student modelling. This paper also presents ViSMod (Visualization of Bayesian Student Models) an integrated tool to visualize and inspect distributed Bayesian student models.

Visualizing and Inspecting Bayesian Belief Models
Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) have become accepted and used widely to model uncertain reasoning and causal relationships. We have developed an interactive visualization tool (VisNet) that allows students and/or teachers to inspect BBNs. Using VisNet it is possible to experiment with concepts such as marginal probability, changes in probability, probability propagation and cause-effect relatio...
متن کاملInteracting with Inspectable Bayesian Student Models
Inspectable student models focus on the idea of letting students and teachers interact with the representation of the student that the system maintains. Both humans and the system can benefit from this interaction. By externalizing the student model and making it an object for inspection, several representational and interaction issues arise. This paper presents ViSMod (Visualization of Bayesia...
متن کاملInspectable Bayesian student modelling servers in multi-agent tutoring systems
User modelling shells and learner modelling servers (LMS) have been proposed in order to provide reusable user/student model information over different domains, common inference mechanisms, and mechanisms to handle consistency of beliefs from different sources. Open and inspectable student models have been investigated by several authors as a means to promote student’s reflection, knowledge awa...
متن کاملVisualizing Student Models for Social Learning with Parallel IntrospectiveViews
This paper reports a novel visual metaphor of parallel views on open student models and a new design of the IntrospectiveViews interface implementing this metaphor. The interface allows visualizing not only the student’s own model, but also displaying parallel views on the models of her peers and the cumulate model of the entire class or group. In the paper, we describe the application of paral...
متن کاملBayesian Networks and Linear Regression Models of Students’ Goals, Moods and Emotions
If computers are to interact naturally with humans, they should recognize students’ affect and express social competencies. Research has shown that learning is enhanced when empathy or support is provided and that improved personal relationships between teachers and students leads to increased student motivation. Therefore, if tutoring systems can embed affective support for students they shoul...
