Evaluation Of The Individual WIKI Editor Behavior

With the development of information technology, Internet provides more and more solutions for collaborative learning. Educational technology encyclopedia, which created Based on the Mediawiki, has become Shaanxi normal university educational technology students’knowledge sharing and collaborative learning platform. The modern distance education course in the content of the inquiry learning is to let students based on Educational technology encyclopedia in the Mediawiki cooperation editing the content of "the UK’s Open University", however, how to evaluate the students’contribution to become a major problem. However, how to evaluate the editing behavior of individual students has become very thorny problem.In this paper, the first chapter is the introduction part of research background, put forward the research problem, research significance, research design and research methods. The second chapter, through analysis the literature of wiki teaching application research’s methods of evaluating learners at home and abroad, I found that in the domestic the research of wiki collaboration evaluation is very little, did not put forward the operable evaluation methods, steps; In foreign countries, using specialized evaluation tools and survey method to evaluate the editing behavior in wiki can offer a application reference for this study. In addition, I found that the evaluation of individuals’editing behavior in the wiki should include not only the evaluation of participation, more important is the evaluation of editing the content of quality.The third chapter and fourth chapter is the core part of this article. The third chapter, the evaluation model construction of individuals’editing behavior in the wiki, mainly evaluate three kinds of editing behavior, which is adding, modify, deleting content, and focusing on the assessment of the quality of adding content behavior. The evaluation model construction of individuals’editing behavior in the wiki has a solid theoretical foundation. On the one hand, from the existing "in formation/data quality" model to explore the key factors which content quality evaluation need to consider, on the other hand,from cooperation platform of wikipedia to explore the special factors which content quality evaluation need to consider, preliminary formulate individuals’ editing behavior evaluation indicators. The evaluation model construction of individuals’editing behavior in the wiki using brainstorming and investigate methods. Though brainstorming method to screening evaluation indicators, and then determine the dimensions of evaluation indicators. Though investigate method to investigate the students involved in the editing to determine the weights of indicators, in order to ensure the reliability of indicator weight, investigation was carried out two rounds. The fourth chapter, the application of evaluation model of individuals’editing behavior in the wiki.On one hand, from the "mass" point of view to evaluate, in order to explain the application of the process and methods of evaluation model of individuals’editing behavior in the wiki, I evaluated the "UK’s Open University history page" for example. On the other hand, from the "quantity" point of view to evaluate, by installing History Flow Visualization, which is a specialized platform to analysis mediawiki history, understood the use process of it, and study mechanism of History Flow Visualization how to analysis of the historical record of mediawiki. Then through the evaluation of "British Open University teacher page" show the advantages of this platform, which can evaluate participants from the point of view of "quantity".The application and practice of evaluation model show that the model has certain operability to evaluation contributors edit quality from the "qualitative Angle". Visualization analysis platform History Flow Visualization, which is special analysis software of mediawiki, is very effective to evaluate individual contribution in mediawiki from the "amount of Angle", and to a certain extent reflect the quality of the edit. In this study, though evaluate the individual editing behavior in the mediawiki combining "the Angle of quality "and" quantity point of view", can provide proposal to similar course activities.
