Abstract

In this research we propose a comprehensive set of knowledge indicators aimed to enhance learners’ self-reflection and awareness in the learning and testing process. Since examined intelligent tutoring systems do not include additional messaging features, the introduction of common set of knowledge indicators differentiates our approach from the previous studies. In order to investigate the relation between proposed knowledge indicators and learner performance, the correlation and regression analysis were performed for 3 different courses and each examined intelligent tutoring system. The results of correlation and regression analysis, as well as learners’ feedback, guided us in discussion about the introduction of knowledge indicators in dashboard-like visualizations of integrated intelligent tutoring system.
