TracePath: Modeling and Analyzing Competency Trajectories with Graph-Based Learning Analytics over a Hybrid Polystore

Résumé

A competency-based approach supported by personalized learning paths and prompt feedback accelerates skill development by continuously adapting to learners' needs and maintaining high levels of engagement. Capturing and understanding learner competency development through interaction data offers the potential for early intervention and optimized educational design, yet introduces challenges related to scalability and complexity. We present TracePath, a novel graph-based framework that models learner trajectories as directed graphs, where nodes correspond to competencies or learner states and edges denote transitions such as validation or rejection events. This approach uncovers common learning pathways, identifies bottlenecks, and supports predictive analytics. At the core, a generic metamodel formalizes Competency Transition Graphs (CTGs), enabling comprehensive graph-based analytics implemented over a hybrid polystore architecture that integrates both relational and NoSQL databases. Our design decouples data extraction from graph exploration, allowing efficient querying, clustering, and pattern matching to deliver timely and explainable learning insights. Empirical validation using real-world data from the écri+ ecertification project demonstrates TracePath's effectiveness in providing scalable, dynamic, and low-latency learning analytics to support personalized education.
