Visualising Uncertainty for Open Learner Model Users
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is widening use of open learner models (OLM) to support learning and promote metacognitive behaviours, but learner model visualisations do not typically include information about uncertainty. We consider findings from the field of information visualisation and apply these to OLMs. Examples are given for how uncertainty visualisation might be usefully achieved.

Uncertainty in Open Learner Models: Visualising Inconsistencies in the Underlying Data
This paper suggests different methods for visualising uncertainty in open learner models (OLM). In order to visualise the uncertainty in OLMs, two factors need to be measured, namely the source of the uncertainty in the data and the level of uncertainty in the learner model. This paper proposes a method to detect the source of uncertainty within a learner model: outlier analysis is employed to ...
متن کاملNew Opportunities with Open Learner Models and Visual Learning Analytics
This paper compares approaches to visualising data for users in educational settings, contrasting visual learning analytics and open learner models. We consider the roots of each, and identify how each field can learn from experiences and approaches of the other, thereby benefiting both.
متن کاملVisualising Multiple Data Sources in an Independent Open Learner Model
This paper introduces the Next-TELL independent open learner model which is constructed based on data from a range of sources. An example is presented for a university course, with the learner model built from the main activities undertaken during the course. Use of the Next-TELL open learner model over a five week period is described for this group of students, suggesting that independent open...
متن کاملAssessing English as a Second Language: From Classroom Data to a Competence-Based Open Learner Model
With the increase of ICT in classrooms comes much data that can be used for evidence-based assessment. We focus on harnessing and interpreting this data to empower teachers in formative assessment. We describe e-assessment of English as a Second Language and illustrate how we move from data collected in classroom activities, through an automated assessment method, to visualising competence leve...
متن کاملAn open learner model for trainee pilots
This paper investigates the potential for simple open learner models for highly motivated, independent learners, using the example of trainee pilots. In particular we consider whether such users access their learner model to help them identify their current knowledge level, areas of difficulty and specific misconceptions, to help them plan their immediate learning activities; and whether they f...
