Abstract

This paper presents an approach to dynamically extract individual user models by engaging users in diagnostic interactions. A framework for maintaining diagnostic dialogues based on approaches known as dialogue games is outlined and illustrated in STyLE-OLM - an interactive student modelling system. The framework is validated in an evaluative study of STyLE-OLM, and potential improvements are sketched out.
