evaluation of InteliWeb mobile / experimental phase results
After testing the system mAIWeb with a group of users, certain results were extracted
regarding users' performance at the examination and their navigational behaviour.
Users' Academic Performance Results
The methodology and control hypothesis were successful since an increased performance
is observed by users interacting and learning through matched environments. For
better visualization there follows a graph:
Initial indications show a significant correlation between the Cognitive Processing
factors used, not only between the cognitive factors but also with regards to the
performance of the subjects. Subjectively, with regards to the cognitive
learning styles it has been proven that Imagers, Verbalizers, Wholists and Analysts
perform better in environments of their type whereby it has been shown significant
correlation with the second dimension, the Working Memory Span parameter.
Navigational Behaviour Results
This functionality was tested for Intermediate and Analyst type users since they
are the only types to receive a list of contents for navigation support.
In general, it has been noticed that Intermediates do not prefer the list of contents
for navigation, but they usually use the simple navigation method through Next >>
and << Previous links. Whenever an Intermediate used the list of
contents was to access a previous chapter with important information regarding the
lesson.
Considering Analysts, we observed that most of them ignored pages with repeated
concepts, such as examples, and browsed following pages with new material. Concluding,
usually Analysts navigate in a ascending order but not necessarily serial.
