Assessment of Group and Individual Learning through Intelligent Visualization Workshop (AGILeViz)

Purpose of the Workshop: This workshop will present, discuss, and explore new ways of providing educators with sophisticated, computer-generated visualizations of learning by groups and individuals in order to improve teaching and learning. The organizers of the workshop are motivated by the convergence of several factors that bear directly on the CSCL vision to understand and encourage novel, technology-rich learning and learning tools: • Educational innovators are using technology to understand and propel learning in ways that dwarf the limited paradigms of learning and assessment that dominate educational practice. • Current assessment tools not only are highly constrained in the constructs that they measure, but the representational systems used to communicate student progress on these assessments are also very limited. Representational systems used are inadequate for supporting thinking about the kinds of learning and problem-solving behaviors that are increasingly important to assure. • Interactive visualization techniques for large quantities of heterogeneous data have now reached a state of maturity that makes them ripe for applications in data-driven analysi
