A Current Overview of the Use of Learning Analytics Dashboards

Abstract

The promise of Learning Analytics Dashboards in education is to collect, analyze, and visualize data with the ultimate ambition of improving students’ learning. Our overview of the latest systematic reviews on the topic shows a number of research trends: learning analytics research is growing rapidly; it brings to the front inequality and inclusiveness measures; it reveals an unclear path to data ownership and privacy; it provides predictions which are not clearly translated into pedagogical actions; and the possibility of self-regulated learning and game-based learning are not capitalized upon. However, as learning analytics research progresses, greater opportunities lie ahead, and a better integration between information science and learning sciences can bring added value of learning analytics dashboards in education.

“…Узагальнено, що особливі освітні потреби в науковому середовищі охоплюють значний пласт змістових ознак з урахуванням зовнішніх чинників, в основному спровокованих нестандартними обставинами. Таке розуміння досліджуваного феномена визначає ставлення представників наукового співтовариства insight.stateuniversity.ks.ua ISSN 2663-970Х (Chen et al, 2023;Kononenko et al, 2020;Rice et al, 2023) and methods of communication and interaction (Kurova et al, 2023), on practices of self-efficacy formation in the leading activity of students and teachers (Celestino et al, 2024;Halian et al, 2023a;2023b), on taking into account the adaptation potential (Blynova et al, 2022;Nosov et al, 2020), on creating conditions for the implementation of acceptable forms of education and the use of health-preserving technologies, the implementation of mixed forms of education, as well as a pedagogical approach to ensure fairness and barrier-free access to information (Masiello et al, 2024) and educational services .…”

Is A Star A Document? Catalogued Students and Learning Analytics

“…They list the techniques used in predictive analytics as '[d]ata visualisations via specific tools to provide program/degree level metrics on student enrolments, program stage, results and survey feedback to give teaching staff visual snapshots of students in their programs' (Society for Learning Analytics Research 2024). Masiello et al (2024) provide a current overview of the use of learning analytics dashboards (LADs), which they define as 'control panels that can be tailored to display LA components that update according to the learning processes, also in real time'. Visualisations 'mainly exemplify descriptive information, such as time spent on an online task, access to various online resources, and learning progression in a course or subject/task, but also to provide means to compare user results'.…”

“…Visualisations 'mainly exemplify descriptive information, such as time spent on an online task, access to various online resources, and learning progression in a course or subject/task, but also to provide means to compare user results'. Using an 'umbrella review' approach (Choi and Kang 2022), Masiello et al (2024) compile evidence from multiple systematic reviews on the use of LADs in education, posing the research question: 'What is the current use of learning analytics dashboards in education? ' Masiello et al (2024) found that the common visualisation techniques were 'graphs, such as line charts, bar charts, progress bars, pie charts, and timelines'.…”

' Masiello et al (2024) found that the common visualisation techniques were 'graphs, such as line charts, bar charts, progress bars, pie charts, and timelines'. Importantly, they found that the design of visualisation elements of LADs was explicitly guided by 'relevant frameworks of pedagogy and learning to facilitate educational practices', with self-regulated learning and game-based learning being the most commonly adopted.…”
