Resources on Knowledge Space Theory

Bibliography

Since 1994, I have been maintaining a bibliography on knowledge space theory. The original is in bibtex format, but there are also HTML and PDF versions.

Some statistics

R packages

The work on these R packages was/is a byproduct of my work in Erasmus+ projects on quantitative thinking.

• kst: Basic functionalities for KST (using set representations)
• kstMatrix: Basic functionalities for KST (using more efficient matrix representations)
• kstIO: Functions for loading/saving KST files
• CbKST: Competence-based knowledge space theory
• CDSS: Course-Dependent Skill Structures

Python & KST

There is also a very first attempt of a KST-oriented package for Python: kstpy.

Use simply pip install kstpy for installation from PYPI, and have a look at the documentation.
