Epistemic Beliefs and Open Learner Models

Information on epistemic beliefs has the potential to enrich feedback to students and teachers, through open learner modelling (OLM). We outline existing OLM applications with epistemic content and ways in which more holistic aspects of learning and development (epistemic beliefs, values, identity cognition etc.) may extend OLM for 21 Century learning. We propose three steps to extend epistemic network analysis to provide an OLM which contains epistemic beliefs.
