Do Students Trust Their Open Learner Models?

چکیده
Open learner models (OLM) enable users to access their learner model to view information about their understanding. Opening the learner model to the learner may increase their perceptions of how a system evaluates their knowledge and updates the model. This raises questions of trust relating to whether the learner believes the evaluations are correct, and whether they trust the system as a whole. We investigate learner trust in various OLM features: the complexity of the model presentation; the level of learner control over the model contents; and the facility to release one's own model for peer viewing.

Investigating Learner Trust in Open Learner Models Using a 'Wizard of Oz' Approach
Open learner models (OLM) are learner models which are accessible to the learner, allowing them to view, and sometimes modify, their model. This openness may raise questions of learner trust in their learner model: if users do not agree with, or trust the information they can see about themselves, their trust in the interaction will likely be reduced. Using a Wizard-of-Oz approach, we consider ...
متن کاملInvestigating Learner Trust in Adaptive Learning Systems
Open learner models (OLM) is an adaptive learning system that externalise the learner model contents to the user. OLMs assist learners in tracking their knowledge, and promote independent learning by offering information about their knowledge that the learner would not usually see (e.g. a breakdown of concept understanding or descriptions of misconceptions held) which may allow learners to iden...
متن کاملGroup Interaction Prompted by a Simple Assessed Open Learner Model that can be Optionally Released to Peers
This paper describes a study of a simple open learner model that can be optionally released to peers in named or anonymous form, to facilitate collaborative and competitive learning in a situation where the learner model contents contributed to students' assessment. Results suggest that, under the right conditions, students may start working sooner; discussion amongst students can be increased;...
متن کاملUMPTEEN: Named and Anonymous Learner Model Access for Instructors and Peers
Recently, opening the learner model to the learner it represents has become more common in adaptive learning environments. There have also been systems that allow instructors access to the learner models of their students, and a few examples of systems which open the learner model to the student's peers. However, little investigation has taken place into students' attitudes to viewing the learn...
متن کاملSupporting Interaction Preferences and Recognition of Misconceptions with Independent Open Learner Models
Misconceptions have been identified in many subjects. However, there has been less investigation into students' interest in their misconceptions. This paper presents two independent open learner models used alongside seven university courses to highlight the state of their knowledge to the learner as a starting point for their independent study. Many students used the environments; many had mis...
