Abstract

In this paper, we present the CTAT (Cognitive Tutor Authoring Tools) implementation of a system-general model for the detection of students who “game the system”, a behavior in which students misuse intelligent tutors or other online learning environments in order to complete problems or otherwise advance without learning. We discuss how this publicly available detector can be used for both live detection of gaming behavior while students are using CTAT tutors and for retroactive application of the detector to historical data within LearnSphere. The goal of making this detector publicly available is to foster new research about how to best intervene when students game the system and to increase the large scale adoption of such detectors in the classroom.
