Designing, Developing, and Evaluating a Real-Time Student Dashboard

• In Event: D&D - Learning Analytics and Digital Badges

Short Description

We developed a real-time student dashboard built on an open analytics system. We use interoperability standards in the design, including Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) and Experience API (xAPI). This dashboard provides content recommendations to help students fill their knowledge gaps and metacognitive skill recommendations to help students improve their metacognitive skills. This design-based research project reports on the design process, development process, focus groups, recommender dashboard evaluation survey, and click-level usage data.
