A development environment to customize assessment through students interaction with multimodal applications

Abstract

Learning experiences based on multimodal interactive applications are becoming common at all educational levels. Designing assessments for learning applications is often addressed through learning analytics. Multimodal interactive applications generate a large amount of data about students' interaction that can provide insights about their profile, behavior and performance. Unfortunately, this information is usually not accessible or difficult to collect from such applications, especially for teachers without computer programming skills. In this work, we present a visual development environment that supports the creation of multimodal interactive applications for learning with non-intrusive monitoring capacities, thus providing teachers the opportunity to create their own learning analytics tools even if they are not skilled in computer programming.
