Alternative Views on Knowledge: Presentation of Open Learner Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a study in which individual learner models were built for students and presented to them with a choice of view. Students found it useful, and not confusing to be shown multiple representations of their knowledge, and individuals exhibited different preferences for which view they favoured. No link was established between these preferences and the students’ learning styles. We describe the implications of these results for intelligent tutoring systems where interaction with the open learner model is individualised.

Investigating 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 کامل20000 Inspections of a Domain-Independent Open Learner Model with Individual and Comparison Views
This paper introduces a domain-independent open learner model with multiple simple views on individual learner model data. Learners can also compare their knowledge level to their peer group, and to instructor expectations for different stages of their course. The aim is to help learners identify their knowledge, difficulties and misconceptions; prompt reflection on their knowledge and learning...
متن کاملVisual Attention in Open Learner Model Presentations: An Eye-Tracking Investigation
Using an eye-tracker, this paper investigates the information that learners visually attend to in their open learner model, and the degree to which this is related to the method of displaying the model to the learner. Participants were fourteen final year undergraduate students using six views of their learner model data. Results suggest some views of the learner model information may be more l...
متن کاملInterfaces for Inspectable Learner Models
Inspectable (open) learner models have been in use for some time now. This poster presents views of the learner model that have become more common, such as skill meters and concept maps; and introduces developments in novel interfaces for open learner models including the use of animation, audio and haptic feedback, and user-constructed learner model views.
متن کاملDo Students Trust Their Open Learner Models?
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 whol...
