Progressor

Overview

Progressor is a collaboration work between University of Jena and University of Pittsburgh. The core research goal of the project is to utilize the success of self-assessment programming language learning tool, QuizJET, with rich-interaction interface derived from IntrospectiveViews and provide a better personalized visual access to programming language problems. The research investigated open social student model; how social guidance affects self-assessment programming language learning; motivational effects on the progress of educational content; privacy and data sharing.

Features

• Progress tracking: question attempts, successful rates, overall progress etc.
• Comparing: with class on average or any open models of your peers
• Sorting: by overall progress, by progress on the topic, by open models, by name.
• Privacy management
