DALITE: Asynchronous Peer Instruction for MOOCs
نویسندگان
چکیده
This demonstration will feature the Distributed Active Learning Integrated Technology Environment (DALITE), a novel LTI compliant application which allows Learning Management Systems to include an asynchronous peer instruction component as a part of their course. It has been successfully used in three different MOOCs on the edX platform (Harvardx,MITx,McGillx). This tool not only enables a novel type of formative assessment based on student self-explanations, but also provides a rich source of peer-assessed natural language data for educational research.

This paper reports on an analyis of data from a novel Peer Instruction application, named DALITE. The Peer Instruction paradigm is well suited to take advantage of peer-input in web-based learning environments. DALITE implements an asynchronous instantiation of peer instruction: after submitting their answer to a multiple-choice question, students are asked to write a rationale for their choice...
