Adaptive Feedback Characteristics in CAT
Anastasios A. Economides · 2006
Feedback is an essential element in learning. The educator (real or artificial) responds to the learner's actions, emotions, intentions, etc. in order to help her to become self- aware and improve. Recently, Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) is gaining high popularity due to its efficiency in testing large number of examinees. This paper examines the attributes of Adaptive Feedback in CAT. Designers and developers of CAT systems may rely on these attributes to produce effective feedback adapted to the learner or the educational context.
