Popis Measuring similarity of educational items has several applications in the development of adaptive learning systems, and previous research has already proposed a wide range of similarity measures. In this work, we provide an experimental evaluation of selected similarity measures using a large dataset. The used items are alternate-choice questions for the practice of English grammar for second language learners; the dataset contains thousands of items and over 10 million student answers. Our results provide warnings about the generalizability of results presented in EDM works: 1) the results vary significantly between knowledge components and 2) the size of available data is an important factor.
