PaaBen, Benjamin; Bertsch, Andreas; Langer-Fischer, Katharina; Rüdian, Sylvio; Wang, Xia; Sinha, Rupali; Kuzilek, Jakub; Britsch, Stefan; Pinkwart, Niels – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Many modern anatomy curricula teach histology using virtual microscopes, where students inspect tissue slices in a computer program (e.g. a web browser). However, the educational data mining (EDM) potential of these virtual microscopes remains under-utilized. In this paper, we use EDM techniques to investigate three research questions on a virtual…

Makransky, Guido; Mayer, Richard; Nøremølle, Anne; Cordoba, Ainara Lopez; Wandall, Jakob; Bonde, Mads – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
There is great potential in making assessment and learning complementary. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of developing a desktop virtual reality (VR) laboratory simulation on the topic of genetics, with integrated assessment using multiple choice questions based on item response theory (IRT) and feedback based on the cognitive…

Bulut, Okan; Kan, Adnan – Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2012
Problem Statement: Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) is a sophisticated and efficient way of delivering examinations. In CAT, items for each examinee are selected from an item bank based on the examinee's responses to the items. In this way, the difficulty level of the test is adjusted based on the examinee's ability level. Instead of…

Stroup, Walter M.; Hills, Thomas; Carmona, Guadalupe – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2011
This paper summarizes an approach to helping future educators to engage with key issues related to the application of measurement-related statistics to learning and teaching, especially in the contexts of science, mathematics, technology and engineering (STEM) education. The approach we outline has two major elements. First, students are asked to…
