Improve Accuracy of PC Skill Assessment Using PC Operation Log Data

Abstract

Information and communication technologies have spread rapidly, and as a result, people's attention to computer skills has reached a level as never before. However, most conventional skill assessment tools are often multiple-choice types and ask only for PC knowledge but not PC skills. Meanwhile, skill assessment using eye tracking has already been realized in the medical field and has been proven to be a reliable tool for skill assessment and may apply to other fields. Therefore, unlike the knowledge-questioning type PC skill assessment, this study is to propose a method to measure an operator's real skill level using PC operation log data. In this study, we use the operator's PC operation logs to generate heatmaps and operation features and compare these data with standard data generated by the KML model in order to assess the operator's pc skills.
