Exploring Viewing Behavior Data from Whole Slide Images to Predict Correctness of Students' Answers during Practical Exams in Oral Pathology

Abstract

The use of whole slide images (WSIs) allows tracking and recording how a histological slide is viewed. Gathered data about viewing behavior while interpreting WSIs may result in a variety of analyses. When the tracking is done during an exam, we can discover how students view WSIs. Moreover, we may try to correlate their way of viewing slides with correctness of the answers they give. Particularly, we can potentially find out to what extent a specific viewing behavior is likely to result in a correct or incorrect answer from a student.
