An Efficient Student Model Based on Student Performance and Metadata

This paper describes a new student model technology that combines evidences and knowledge about pedagogical and domain structure. Its structure is generated from the metadata available in the content representation of the adaptive web-based learning platform ACTIVEMATH (or other contents). The evidences are processed with Item Response Theory and Transferable Belief Model uncertainty methodologies. We summarize evaluation results for this student model.
