HIDDEN PATTERNS IN LEARNER FEEDBACK - Generalizing from Noisy Self-assessment during Self-directed Learning

Abstract

We propose a method which uses high-level learner feedback to recommend learning materials that match the knowledge level of a specific learner. Machine learning and topic inference techniques will be applied to documents that were rated by the learner to infer information on the learner’s conceptual development. The inferred topics will be linked to a domain ontology, allowing us to offer the learner knowledge-rich feedback regarding his level of understanding. In addition, appropriate learning materials can be recommended on the basis of the learner’s computational model. The proposed method is especially useful in lifelong learning contexts, in which tutor support is often not available.
