Abstract

When designing open-ended educational games and other creative instructional environments it is important for designers to understand what learners can do within the space their games afford and whether behaviors across that space are supporting their instructional goals. In this demo we will present several prototype visualization concepts based on the TRESTLE concept formation algorithm to organize data from student solutions into a tree structure amenable to several kinds of visualization.
