Modeling Students' Memory for Application in Adaptive Educational Systems.
Radek Pelánek · 2015
Human memory has been thoroughly studied and modeled in psychology, but mainly in laboratory setting under simpli-fied conditions. For application in practical adaptive educa-tional systems we need simple and robust models which can cope with aspects like varied prior knowledge or multiple-choice questions. We discuss and evaluate several models of this type. We show that using the extensive data sets col-lected by online educational systems it is possible to build well calibrated models and get interesting insight, which can be used for improvement of adaptive educational systems. 1.
