3. Prerequisite Relation & Information Visualisation
∙ integration in curricula for teaching and learning abstract
concepts ([17])
∙ learning dashboards with graphical representations of the
learning process (e.g. Learning Analytics [7])
∙ representation of large amount of data in Educational Data Mining
([18])
However: Information Visualisation & Prerequisite Relations is still
missing in the literature.
We used Information visualisation to enhance:
∙ 1) PR Exploration
∙ 2) Algorithm Refinement
2
5. 1) PR Exploration - Techniques: concept graph
It revealed interesting insights concerning graph’s connectivity,
transitivity and topology. 4
6. 1) PR Exploration - Techniques: matrix
It confirmed our hypothesis that PR is highly correlated with
co-occurrence and temporal order. 5
7. 2) Algorithm Refinement - Dataset
Burst Analysis (see our paper on Friday for further details [1])
6
8. 2) Algorithm Refinement - Techniques: Gantt Chart
It facilitates the analysis of temporal patterns.
7
9. 2) Algorithm Refinement - Techniques: Gantt Chart
It allows to compare temporal relations with gold relations.
8
10. 2) Algorithm Refinement - Techniques: Gantt Chart
It allows forms of textbook exploration.
9
11. 2) Algorithm Refinement - Techniques: Allen Graph
It suggested limits of the algorithm and possible improvements. 10
12. Conclusion and Future work
In this paper:
∙ better understand prerequisites in textbooks
∙ develop more powerful strategies for the automatic extraction
In the future:
∙ Explore more techniques
∙ Apply them in different and larger corpora of educational texts
∙ More directly address the needs of learners and teachers
