Motivation
● E-book authoring software is an emerging technology

3. AIED 2015 #3
Motivation
● E-book authoring software is an emerging technology
● Typical e-books are simple transformations of traditional
textbooks into digital books

4. AIED 2015 #4
Motivation
● E-book authoring software is an emerging technology
● Typical e-books are simple transformations of traditional
textbooks into digital books
● Current technology offers computational affordances that
have not been exploited yet in this context

Motivation
● E-book authoring software is an emerging technology
● Typical e-books are simple transformations of traditional
textbooks into digital books
● Current technology offers computational affordances that
have not been exploited yet in this context
● MCSquared is investigating this potential in the context of
learning mathematical concepts

MCSquared Project
Can e-book technological affordances be used to support
learning of mathematical concepts?

7. AIED 2015 #7
MCSquared Approach
● Promote student engagement and creativity

8. AIED 2015 #8
MCSquared Approach
● Promote student engagement and creativity
● Provide highly interactive constructionist e-book widgets

9. AIED 2015 #9
MCSquared Approach
● Promote student engagement and creativity
● Provide highly interactive constructionist e-book widgets
● Intercept user activity and log processes followed and
artefacts created

MCSquared Approach
● Promote student engagement and creativity
● Provide highly interactive constructionist e-book widgets
● Intercept user activity and log processes followed and
artefacts created
● Process data and provide real-time support to learners and
teachers

11. AIED 2015 #11
Requirements for LA
1)Usage and other book-level descriptive statistics
2)Structured answer and related descriptive statistics
3)Constructionist Analytics

12. AIED 2015 #12
Requirements for LA
Constructionist Analytics
● Constructionist descriptive statistics (i.e. number of objects
constructed, moved, deleted, etc.)
● Data regarding construction operations (achievements of
key ’landmarks’)
● Specif ic patterns of interaction within a widget

13. AIED 2015 #13
Technical Requirement
Generic, interoperable framework that enables conf igurability
of learning analytics and intelligent support
Technical Difficulty
Interactive, creative e-books comprise multiple
heterogeneous widgets

Conclusion
● The system has been tested by project partners
● Preliminary results show that it meets its original design
objectives
It offers:
● rapid integration of learning objects
● dynamic conf iguration of learning analytics and intelligent
support
