Seeing What the System Thinks You Know - Visualizing Evidence in an Open Learner Model

LAK 2012, Vancouver, 01 May 2012

Barbara Kump, Christin Seifert, Günter Beham, Stefanie Lindstaedt, Tobias Ley

We suggest an interactive visualization for an Open Learner Model n Open-ended Learning Environment used in the workplace

context n MyExperience is non-invasive and reflect what people are naturally doing at

their workplace

n Large and complex Learning Domain n MyExperience reduces complexity and fit lots on the screen

n Result of an implicit diagnosis n MyExperience is intuitive and correctable é

Non-invasive Knowledge Assessment and Open Learner Models n Non-invasive knowledge assessment has been used in adaptive

educational systems like Knowledge Tree (Brusilovsky, 2004), Personis (Kay, 2002) and Grapple (DeBra et al. 2010)

n Open Learner models improve understandability and accuracy, and enhance reflection about learning progress (Bull & Kay, 2007)

Working and Learning in APOSDLE

n Learning is self-directed and driven from workplace tasks

n Learning makes use of existing resources not necessarily designed for learning

n Learning is a social process in which individuals switch roles: learning, working, supporting

n Experts act differently than novices, they don’t just do more of the same

Conclusions

n Knowledge Indicating Events (KIE) track naturally occurring interactions for learning analysis

n Treemap visualization is intuitive and accepted at the workplace

n Open Learner Models contribute to comprehensibility of the domain model and enhance reflection at the workplace

n Future Work: Currently analyzing KIE from several months of use at the workplace and their prediction of self- and peer assessment
