MOTIVATION & GOAL
“Continuing education at the workplace has seen increasing demand as a crucial
means of acquiring the requisite professional knowledge and skills. Electronic
Portfolios (e-portfolios) for workplace training provide a global view of each
trainee’s progress but offer no dynamic feedback to exploit the rich learning
assessment data that could be analysed to support responsive adaptation for
more efficient and rewarding training.”
WATCHME effectively deploys Learning Analytics to deliver personalised learning;
supporting learner empowerment, enhanced Quality-of-Experience, flexibility and
mobility plus efficiency gains through workplace-based feedback and
assessment.
APPROACH
•
mobile, electronic portfolio-based system
•
LA and student models
•
tailored feedback
•
visualisation dashboard
•
empirically validated for its quality and contribution to trainees’ learning
•
professional environments (human medicine, veterinary medicine and
teacher training)

STUDENT MODELLING
Our context:
•
Many students
•
Online learning
•
Changing environment
•
Soft evidence (including narrative)
Need for flexible and scalable student modelling
MULTI-ENTITY BELIEF NETWORKS - MEBN
•
Probabilistic: deal with soft evidence and uncertainty
•
Online learning possible
•
Versatile: models adopt themselves to situation of the student
•
Scalable: shared fragments of knowledge
•
Semantically labelled

VISUALIZATION OF AGGREGATED DATA
Combine
 Countable data (students, assessments, relations)
 Information from knowledge fragments
 Combine with individual student model
JUST IN TIME FEEDBACK
Student model must indicate appropriateness of
 Type of feedback
 Content of feedback
 Moment of feedback
Probabilistic
FITTING ALL TOGETHER
Interfaces between:
 Assessment tools and portfolio
 portfolio server and student model server
 Student model server and visualisation
 Student model server and feedback
Integration of visualisation and feedback in portfolio
