Planning and Design of Personalized Dynamic Assessment for Linux Learning

Abstract

This study aims at the development of a personalized dynamic assessment system for Linux learning. The proposed system is divided into three major components, including learning materials, learning resources, and dynamic assessment. After assessing learners’ learning states and performance, the proposed system can instruct learners to use appropriate learning materials and resources as feedbacks to complete the given tasks, so that learners can use correct Linux commands with the right syntax. These feedbacks can improve learners’ operability on Linux, and can enhance learners’ motivation and interests. To well develop the proposed system, the three major components will be reviewed by experts through heuristic evaluation and by users through System Usability Scale (SUS). This paper is to describe the issues of planning and design of our personalized dynamic assessment system. The processes of expert and user evaluation for the proposed system are also discussed.
