Ac 2007-1524: Individualized, Interactive Instruction (3i): an Online Formative Assessment and Instructional Tool
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a novel online tool, Individualized, Interactive Instruction (3i), that enables new instructional approaches based on formative assessment. The 3i system provides real-time feedback from students to instructors in the classroom. 3i directly displays each student’s progress on specific problem solving tasks that reveal understanding of instructional topics. The 3i system design ensures private and anonymous communication and thus encourages student participation. Most importantly, the combination of these characteristics allows a student-centered learning method that is convenient for students as well as for instructors. Moreover, the 3i system has been evaluated in multiple gateway Electrical Engineering and Life Science courses at the University of California, Los Angeles. This paper will describe the design and implementation of 3i as well as provide a detailed assessment of results from its evaluation.

متن کاملDeveloping Pedagogically-Guided Threshold Algorithms for Intelligent Automated Essay Feedback
Current computer-based tools for writing instruction show high scoring accuracy but uncertain instructional efficacy. One explanation is that these systems may not effectively communicate valid and appropriate formative feedback. In this paper, we describe an exploratory method for developing feedback algorithms that are grounded in writing pedagogy. The resulting threshold algorithms are shown...
