Abstract

We developed a new model for iList, our system that helps students learn linked list. The model is automatically extracted from past student data, and allows iList to track students' problem-solving behavior in order to provide targeted feedback. We evaluated the new model both intrinsically and extrinsically. We show that the model can match most student actions after a relatively small sequence of observations, and that iList can effectively use the new student tracker to provide feedback and help students learn.
