EU-Project Watchme • Workplace-based e-Assessment Technology for Competency-based Higher Multi-professional Education. • 7th Framework, ICT Call 11 • Objective ICT-2013.8.2 Technology-enhanced learning, b) Learning analytics, educational data mining • March 2014 - April 2017 • 11 partners • 3.4 M€ costs / 2.6 M€ EU-declarable
Motivation & Goal • “Continuing education at the workplace has seen increasing demand as a crucial means of acquiring the requisite professional knowledge and skills. Electronic Portfolios (e-portfolios) for workplace training provide a global view of each trainee’s progress but offer no dynamic feedback to exploit the rich learning assessment data that could be analysed to support responsive adaptation for more efficient and rewarding training.” • WATCHME effectively deploys Learning Analytics to deliver personalised learning; supporting learner empowerment, enhanced Quality-of-Experience, flexibility and mobility plus efficiency gains through workplace-based feedback and assessment.
APPROACH • mobile, electronic portfolio-based system • LA and student models • tailored feedback • visualisation dashboard • empirically validated for its quality and contribution to trainees’ learning • professional environments (human medicine, veterinary medicine and teacher training)

Student modelling • Our context: • Many students • Online learning • Changing environment • Soft evidence (including narrative) • Need for flexible and scalable student modelling
Multi-entity Belief Networks - MEBN • Probabilistic: deal with soft evidence and uncertainty • Online learning possible • Versatile: models adopt themselves to situation of the student • Scalable: shared fragments of knowledge • Semantically labelled
Visualization of aggregated data • Combine • Countable data (students, assessments, relations) • Information from knowledge fragments • Combine with individual student model
Just in time feedback • Student model must indicate appropriateness of • Type of feedback • Content of feedback • Moment of feedback • Probabilistic
Fitting all together • Interfaces between: • Assessment tools and portfolio • portfolio server and student model server • Student model server and visualisation • Student model server and feedback • Integration of visualisation and feedback in portfolio
Work packages • WP1 Project management (Utrecht University) • WP2 Competency-based workplace definition with EPAs, for feedback and assessment (UMCU) • WP3 System architecture and assessment tools (Maastricht University) • WP4 Developing student models (University of Reading) • WP5 Feedback and visualization modules (JAYWAY) • WP6 Implementation and evaluation overall system (University of Tartu) • WP7 Dissemination and exploitation (Charité Berlin)
