| Summary: | Individualized feedback is an important factor in fostering
learning. However, it is often not seen in schools because providing
it places considerable additional workload on teachers.
One way to solve this problem is to employ critiquing systems.
These systems, however, require significant development effort
before they can be put into use. In this article, we describe an
incremental authoring model that facilitates the development of
educational critiquing systems by integrating manual critiquing
with critique authoring.As a result of the integration, the development
of critiquing systems becomes an evolutionary process.
The model explores a vision for developing educational critiquing
systems with much less upfront development effort.We
describe a system that we built, the Java Critiquer, as an exemplar
of our model. Evaluation results from performance testing
and real-life usage of the system have shown that the system
successfully provides a tool for accumulating critiques and at
the same time helping teachers critique student code. |
