Allen, Laura K.; Jacovina, Matthew E.; Dascalu, Mihai; Roscoe, Rod D.; Kent, Kevin M.; Likens, Aaron D.; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2016
This study investigates how and whether information about students' writing can be recovered from basic behavioral data extracted during their sessions in an intelligent tutoring system for writing. We calculate basic and time-sensitive keystroke indices based on log files of keys pressed during students' writing sessions. A corpus of prompt-based…
