Graph-based Modelling of Students' Interaction Data from Exploratory Learning Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 students’ eventbased interaction data as a graph can open up new querying and analysis opportunities. We demonstrate the possibilities that graph-based modelling can provide for querying and analysing the data, enabling investigation of student-system interactions and leading to the improvement of future versions of the ELEs under investigation.

Pedagogical Principles of the Theories of Interaction in Distance Learning: The Study of Interaction Anderson Model in Web-based Environments
Background: Interaction is considered a necessary, and integral part in all forms of distance learning and web -based learning environments. That how much technologies can support and help interactions is one of the most important issues that should be considered in the web-based environment. These interactions seek to engage students with other students, teachers and also non-human contex...

This paper presents our approach to identifying areas of improvement in the intelligent components of adaptive Exploratory Learning Environments. Students’ interaction data from an online operational database are first transformed into a data warehouse in order to allow visualisation and exploration using online analytical processing (OLAP) tools. Using a microworld for secondary school algebra...
متن کاملStudents’ Online Interaction Styles: Can They Change?
Past studies indicate that students demonstrate different online interaction styles, which consist of the ways or habits students acquire knowledge from computer-mediated discussions (Sutton, 2001). Such interaction styles include the active interaction style (Beaudion, 2002), the vicarious interaction style (Sutton, 2001), and the mixed or balanced-interaction style. The purpose of this explor...
