Bayesian Networks for student modelling, assessment, and collaborative learning theory¶

Description¶
Bayesian Networks are presented as both a specification language and a computational mechanism with practical value in designing group and learning support systems: they have "been frequently used to build student models (Millán et al., 2010) and for assessment (Almond et al., 2015)". The article argues the technique can also serve to formalise collaborative learning theories, and notes its methodological basics can be learned in a couple of weeks with support from many software tools including several R packages — comparatively low threshold and high ceiling.
Accounts¶
- Bayesian Networks as a practical, low-threshold formal language for student models, assessment, and collaborative learning theory: Bayesian Networks are presented as both a specification language and a computational mechanism with practical value in designing group and learning support systems: they have "been frequently used to build student models (Millán et al., 2010) and for assessment (Almond et al., 2015)". The article argues the technique can also serve to formalise collaborative learning theories, and notes its methodological basics can be learned in a couple of weeks with support from many software tools including several R packages — comparatively low threshold and high ceiling.
