Abstract

Research on learning visualisations does not always consider open learner models (OLM), where visualisations support learner decision-making. A range of preferences has been found, but studies mostly compare visualisations within single systems, so some have not yet been contrasted. This paper: (i) offers OLM researchers further results based on screenshots that include a broader range of visualisations than previously; (ii) introduces OLM views for the attention of those in other e-learning fields, as these may be relevant to their context.
