ReaderBench goes Online: A Comprehension-Centered Framework for Educational Purposes

Year: 2016

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: In this paper we introduce the online version of our \nReaderBench framework, which includes multi-lingual \ncomprehension-centered web services designed to \naddress a wide range of individual and collaborative \nlearning scenarios, as follows. First, students can be \nengaged in reading a course material, then eliciting their \nunderstanding of it; the reading strategies component \nprovides an in-depth perspective of comprehension \nprocesses. Second, students can write an essay or a \nsummary; the automated essay grading component \nprovides them access to more than 200 textual complexity \nindices covering lexical, syntax, semantics and discourse \nstructure measurements. Third, students can start \ndiscussing in a chat or a forum; the Computer Supported \nCollaborative Learning (CSCL) component provides indepth \nconversation analysis in terms of evaluating each \nmember’s involvement in the CSCL environments. \nEventually, the sentiment analysis, as well as the \nsemantic models and topic mining components enable a \nclearer perspective in terms of learner’s points of view \nand of underlying interests.
