This overview outlines key issues in learning with an open learner model (OLM). Originally, learner models remained hidden, as their primary role was to enable a system to personalize the educational interaction. Opening the model in an understandable form provides additional methods of prompting reflection, planning, and other metacognitive activities that are important in learning. Learner-system discussion, editing or other interaction about the learner model can allow users to contribute more directly to the modeling process to increase its accuracy, while at the same time, further facilitating reflection as they justify their viewpoints to themselves and the system. Social learning can be supported by opening learner models to peers, helping learners to gauge their relative progress, and effectively seek collaborators. OLMs can also provide useful information to others supporting the learning process, such as teachers and parents. OLMs are set to take an increasing role as new learning technologies develop.

有关于“开放学习者”的模型！

本概述概述了使用开放学习者模型（OLM）学习的关键问题。最初，学习者模型仍然处于隐藏状态，因为它们的主要作用是使系统能够个性化教育互动。以易于理解的形式打开模型提供了提示反思，计划和其他对学习很重要的元认知活动的其他方法。学习者系统关于学习者模型的讨论，编辑或其他交互作用，可以使用户更直接地对建模过程做出贡献，以提高其准确性，与此同时，由于他们将自己的观点与自己和系统合理化，因此进一步促进了反思。通过向同龄人开放学习者模型，帮助学习者衡量他们的相对进步并有效地寻求合作者，可以支持社会学习。OLM还可以向支持学习过程的其他人（例如老师和父母）提供有用的信息。随着新的学习技术的发展，OLM将扮演越来越重要的角色。
