Abstract

[Sketch worksheets are a new kind of sketch-based education software designed to facilitate spatial learning. Each worksheet represents a particular exercise, which the student does on a computer. Students get feedback, based on automatic comparison of their sketch with a hidden solution sketch. A software gradebook, which uses scoring rubrics in the solution sketch, is intended to help instructors in grading. Sketch worksheets have been used in classroom experiments with college students, high school students, and middle-school students. They are domain-independent, requiring only that the exercise involves visual distinctions that the software can understand. They rely on cognitive models of human visual/spatial representations and a model of human analogical matching. An authoring environment enables domain instructors to create new sketch worksheets on their own. CogSketch is freely available for download.]
