Towards a Dynamic Help System: Support of Learners During Programming Tasks Based Upon Historical Eye-Tracking Data
Fabian Deitelhoff, Andreas Harrer · 2018
In this paper we present a work in progress proposal to create a dynamic help system to help learners solving programming tasks. This help system uses social navigation and guidance based on asynchronous gaze sharing. The navigation and guidance part depend on traces of eye-tracking data of peer learners created during their problem-solving. The goal is to create an interactive learning experience based on behavioral data of peer learners that supports new learners while learning to program. The help system is integrated in a self-developed programming environment to use the full potential of components like code editor, API documentation, task description and error messages. As a result, this environment will be a personal learning environment regarding the behavioral data of peer learners.
