The Problems

  • a teacher explains concepts in a lecture
  • he assigns exercises
  • students can try...
  • how are they checked?
  • paper corrections
  • self-corrections, peer-corrections
  • ...intelligent tutoring systems

Interactive Exercises: Risks

  • cognitive load (technical & conceptual)
  • tiniest bugs become huge
  • irrelevant parts
  • frustration of unachieved exercises
  • they need to be managed by teacher!

It didn’t accept my answer as correct, despite clear syntax (checked by the syntax checker) and my answer being correct. (LeActiveMath evaluation 2007) I am going round in circle in this exercise. Should I have set up things differently? (SAiL-M evaluation 2011)

Integrated Play, Learning Analytics

  • start at the LMS
  • collect tracks of the usage
  • present tracks to teachers:
  • in summary form
  • in individual form
  • as much as needed so that the teacher

understands what happened

Semi-Automatic Assessment

  • utility of exercise feedback:
  • eval performance, learn from error
  • automatic feedback never complete
  • mostly « the standard »
  • approach: semi-automatic assessment
  • learners use tips and feedback of the system
  • seek help when that is insufficient
  • complementarity of tool and teacher

intro • tools • solution • techniques • demo • related • outlook

Evaluation

  • ~ 150 users, 1000 sessions, 25’000 events
  • conclusions:
  • tool starts and transparently logs: ok
  • no real bother about privacy
  • but have to offer alternatives
  • help-seeking paradigm works
  • used little, but sufficient to answer

Related Work

  • SCORM
  • single sign on attempts (eg. LTI)
  • current toolset insufficient for analytics
  • Jacareto: full recording... too detailed!
  • Formid
  • no anonymity, scenario binding
  • LOCO-analyst
  • events not enough flexible

Open Avenues

  • enhance logging for SquiggleM and MoveItM
  • (show graph, show the moves' log?)
  • better client implementation
  • applets a burden (but scrape well)
  • summary views enrichment
  • teachers’ analysis process
  • visually rich displays

Summary

  • learners benefit of automated feedback
  • ... but may need more
  • semi-automatic-feedback
  • needs understanding what they did
  • architecture proposed and deployed
  • worked well for ~150 students
  • bases on a single delivery and logging server
  • privacy issues acceptably addressed
