Abstract | This work presents innovative cybernetics (feedback) techniques based on Bayesian statistics for drawing questions from an Item Bank towards personalized multi-student improvement. A novel software tool, namely "Module for Adaptive Assessment of Students" (or, "MAAS" for short), implements the proposed (feedback) techniques. In conclusion, a pilot application to two Computer Science courses during a period of 4 years demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed techniques. Statistical evidence strongly suggests that the proposed techniques can improve student performance. The benefits of automating a quicker delivery of University quality education to a large body of students can be substantial as discussed here. (Contains 4 tables and 7 figures.) (As Provided). |
