ReaderBench - Automated Identification of Reading Strategies

Detects reading strategies and predicted comprehension level (if benchmark meta-cognitions from other users exists) of a self-explanation.

Short non-technical description: Given a self-explanation or think-aloud of learner provided as string and a reference to or explicit content of referenced textual materials, the service should provide identified reading strategies <Strategy, no. of usages> and predicted comprehension level (if benchmark meta-cognitions from other users exists).

Technical description:

The use of reading strategies is widely recognised as a crucial determinant of reading comprehension. These strategies can be elicited through self-explanations and the automatically identified strategies within ReaderBench comprise of monitoring, causality, bridging, paraphrase and elaboration. Therefore, specific strategies used by learners become reliable predictors of comprehension; the usage of textual complexity indices also improves the overall accuracy.

Given a self-explanation or think-aloud of learner provided as string and a reference to or explicit content of referenced textual materials, the service should provide identified reading strategies <Strategy, no. of usages> and predicted comprehension level (if benchmark meta-cognitions from other users exists).

Support levels: The component is available "as is" without warranties or conditions of any kind. Reported bugs will be fixed. Continued support for new versions of the OS and game engines. New features will be added according to the developer's roadmap. New features can be added upon request (requires a service contract).
