Abstract

Our work explores an interactive open learner modelling (IOLM) approach where a learner is provided with the means to inspect and discuss the learner model. This paper presents the design and implementation of a communication medium for IOLM. We justify an approach of inspecting and discussing the learner model in a graphical manner using conceptual graphs. Based on an empirical study we draw design recommendations, taken into account in the implementation of the communication medium in STyLE-OLM - an IOLM system in a terminological domain. The potential and improvements of the medium are discussed on the basis of study with STyLE-OLM.
