Alternative Views on Knowledge: Presentation of Open Learner Models

This paper describes a study in which individual learner models were built for students and presented to them with a choice of view. Students found it useful, and not confusing to be shown multiple representations of their knowledge, and individuals exhibited different preferences for which view they favoured. No link was established between these preferences and the students’ learning styles. We describe the implications of these results for intelligent tutoring systems where interaction with the open learner model is individualised.
