Abstract

Open learner models (OLM) enable users to access their learner model to view information about their understanding. Opening the learner model to the learner may increase their perceptions of how a system evaluates their knowledge and updates the model. This raises questions of trust relating to whether the learner believes the evaluations are correct, and whether they trust the system as a whole. We investigate learner trust in various OLM features: the complexity of the model presentation; the level of learner control over the model contents; and the facility to release one's own model for peer viewing.
