Abstract

In this paper, we illustrate the successful implementation of a social annotation tool within a content authoring platform, that allows students to discuss learning material with their fellow classmates, and to self-report on their cognitive, metacognitive and affective states-by self-coding the annotations as they journey through the learning material. We explore the predictive potential of such self- reports in reading material against the students completion rate and assessment scores, and also examine how visualisation of these annotation classifications can help instructors easily identify issues and adapt their teaching approach and learning material.
