Categorizing Students' Response Patterns using the Concept of Fractal Dimension.
Rasil Warnakulasooriya, William P. Galen · Educational Data Mining · 2012
We show how students’ response patterns can be quantified both globally and locally using the concept of fractal dimension. This metric allows us to identify students who respond to a series of questions and problems in a persistent or anti-persistent manner with implications for personalized just-in-time teaching and learning.
