Scalable Monitoring of Student Interaction Indicators in Exploratory Learning Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present and evaluate a web-based architecture for monitoring student-system interaction indicators in Exploratory Learning Environments (ELEs), using as our case study a microworld for secondary school algebra. We discuss the challenging role of teachers in exploratory learning settings and motivate the need for visualisation and notification tools that can assist teachers in focusing their attention across the class and inform teachers’ interventions. We present an architecture that can support such Teacher Assistance tools and demonstrate its scalability to allow concurrent usage by thousands of users (students and teachers).

Combining Unsupervised and Supervised Classification to Build User Models for Exploratory Learning Environments
In this paper, we present a data-based user modeling framework that uses both unsupervised and supervised classification to build student models for exploratory learning environments. We apply the framework to build student models for two different learning environments and using two different data sources (logged interface and eye-tracking data). Despite limitations due to the size of our data...
متن کاملDiscovering and Recognizing Student Interaction Patterns in Exploratory Learning Environments
In a Exploratory Learning Environment users acquire knowledge while freely experiencing the environment. In this setting, it is often hard to identify actions or behaviors as correct or faulty, making it hard to provide adaptive support to students who do not learn well with these environments. In this paper we discuss an approach that uses Class Association Rule mining and a Class Association ...
متن کاملNarrative-Centered Environments for Guided Exploratory Learning
Narrative-centered learning environments offer significant potential for supporting guided exploratory learning. By taking advantage of the inherent structure of narrative, narrative-centered environments provide students with engaging worlds in which they actively participate in motivating story-based problemsolving activities. Two key challenges posed by narrativecentered environments for gui...
متن کاملGraph-based Modelling of Students' Interaction Data from Exploratory Learning Environments
Students’ interaction data from learning environments has an inherent temporal dimension, with successive events being related through the“next event”relationship. Exploratory learning environments (ELEs), in particular, can generate very large volumes of such data, making their interpretation a challenging task. Using two mathematical microworlds as exemplars, we illustrate how modelling stude...
متن کاملAnalyzing Frequent Sequential Patterns of Learning Behaviors in Concept Mapping
Computer-based concept mapping learning environments can produce large amounts of data on student interactions. The ability to automatically extract common interaction patterns and distinguish between effective and ineffective interactions creates opportunities for researchers to calibrate feedback and assistance to better support student learning. In this paper, we present an exploratory workf...
