Abstract

In this work, we investigate the effect of presenting students with common errors of other students and explore whether such erroneous examples can help students learn without the embarrassment and demotivation of working with one's own errors. The erroneous examples are presented to students by a technology enhanced learning (TEL) system. We discuss the theoretical background of learning with erroneous examples, describe our TEL setting, and discuss initial, small-scale studies we conducted to explore learning with erroneous examples.
