In this paper we look at learner-formulated questions in technology-supported learning applications. Traditionally, technology-supported learning applications request input from the learner. The learner’s response is used to assess the knowledge of the learner, to define a navigation path through the material or to construct a learner model. With our work we want to add another form of interact...

The learner model is a key component of any adaptive E-Learning system, including educational games, as it stores the information about the learner, which can then be used to provide personalized experience. Recently, there has been growing interest in creating learner models using educational games. This is due to the limitations of traditional E-Learning systems, since the learner interaction...

This paper presents a comprehensive conceptual framework and notation for learner modelling in intelligent tutoring systems. The framework is based upon the computational distinction between behaviour, behavioural knowledge, and conceptual knowledge (in a 'vertical' dimension) and between the system, the learner, and the system's representation of the learner (in a 'horizontal' dimension). All ...

Open learner models to facilitate reflection are becoming more common in adaptive learning environments. There are a variety of approaches to presenting the learner model to the student, and for the student to interact with their open learner model, as the requirements for an open learner model will vary depending on the aims of the system. In this paper we extend existing approaches yet furthe...

This paper describes features and purposes for opening the learner model to the learner. Building on previous studies of use of a range of open learner models, it considers the features that are preferred by university level, experienced open learner model users. Recommendations are presented to help guide open learner model designers in their choices of features to make available to learners, ...

This paper presents a model for pedagogical agents to use the learner’s attention to detect motivation factors of the learner in interactive learning environments. This model is based on observations from human tutors coaching students in on-line learning tasks. It takes into account the learner’s focus of attention, current task, and expected time required to perform the task. A Bayesian model...
