Informing Teachers Live about Student Learning: Reporting in the Assistment System
Mingyu Feng and Neil T. Heffernan
Limited classroom time available in middle school mathematics classes forces teachers to choose between assisting students’ development and assessing students’ abilities. To help teachers make better use of their time, we are integrating assistance and assessment by utilizing a webbased system (“Assistment”) that will offer instruction to students while providing a more detailed evaluation of their abilities to the teacher than is possible under current approaches (refer to [9][5] for more details about the Assistment system). We describe the reports designed and implemented to provide real time reporting to teachers in their classrooms. This reporting system is robost enough to support the 800 students currently using our system.
