Learning Analytics and Spelling Acquisition in German – The Path to Individualization in Learning

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNISA,volume 12205)

Abstract

This paper shows how Learning Analytic Methods are combined with German orthography in the IDeRBlog-project (www.iderblog.eu). After a short introduction to the core of the platform – the intelligent dictionary – we focus on the presentation and evaluation of a new training format. The aim of this format is, that pupils can train misspelled words individually in a motivating and didactic meaningful setting. As a usability test was run with twenty one third graders, we are able to present the results of this evaluation.
