Visualizing Student Models for Social Learning with Parallel IntrospectiveViews

This paper reports a novel visual metaphor of parallel views on open student models and a new design of the IntrospectiveViews interface implementing this metaphor. The interface allows visualizing not only the student’s own model, but also displaying parallel views on the models of her peers and the cumulate model of the entire class or group. In the paper, we describe the application of parallel IntrospectiveViews for visualizing models representing student progress on the QuizJET parameterized questions.
