Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? A core difference between open learner models and visual learning analytics is that in OLMs the inferences about learning have already taken place as part of the modelling process, whereas learning analytics presents activity or behaviour data that users still need to interpret. → Susan Bull & Judy Kay 2016

q2 · i? · theoretical · r3
The article argues that connecting learning analytics with open learner models can help learning analytics visualisations become more meaningful for classrooms, while experiences with big data can facilitate OLM development.
"A core difference, however, is that in open learner models, the inferences about learning have already taken place as part of the modelling process."
