Persuading an Open Learner Model in the Context of a University
Résumé
The LEA’s Box open learner model (OLM) allows learners to try to persuade the system to make changes to their learner model by challenging evidence or providing learning-based justifications. This aims to help make the OLM more accurate, and to support learner reflection, planning and self-monitoring. We re-port an evaluation with 15 university students using the OLM to give formative competency information with learner model evidence data coming from online quizzes and teacher assessments. Results show that students generally understand this approach of persuasion, how it is useful, how it relates to their learning, and identified cases when they could use OLM persuasion within their learning.
