DDART, a Dynamic Dashboard for Collection, Analysis and Visualization of Activity and Reporting Traces

Abstract

International audienceMost Learning Management Systems (LMS) focus on providing rich learning materials to the learners but rarely offer possibilities to monitor and analyze their learning processes. However metacognitive strategies argue that learners can improve their learning performances by monitoring their activities, especially in the context of Project-Based Learning (PBL). Our work consists in designing tools to support metacognitive strategies. In this paper, a framework and a dynamic dashboard for PBL situations are proposed to help learners to collect, analyze and visualize the meaningful traces of their activities by themselves. The proposed framework integrates activity traces (interactions with the LMS) and reporting traces (semi-structured sentences written by the learners). The dynamic dashboard supports learners in the creation customizable indicators through a user-friendly interface

Creating Effective Learning Analytics Dashboards: Lessons Learnt

“…We believe it is important for future dashboards to make personal and peer artefacts also available to students, as shown by our studies of dashboards B, C, D and E [6,7,8,9,35]. The findings are confirmed in studies of [19] and [30].…”

A multi-agents system to compute human learning indicators activities based on model-driven engineering approach

“…Diagne 2009, Iksal et al (2010), Gendron (2010), Ji et al (2014) are the approaches most similar to our own. While these works propose to use models to manage indicators, they still have to code indicators in TEL systems and there is no possibility to easily to create and reuse indicators outside the context of the original TEL System.…”

Methodology to Identify and Quantify Sources of Process Scrap on Shop Floor

“…A Visual Dashboard visualises the actual data from an external data source(s). The term dashboard can be defined as a graphic display that consists of charts, maps and graphic indicators [15]. Others refer dashboard as "a graphical presentation of the current status (snapshot) and historical trends of an organisation, 'Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)' to enable instantaneous and informed decisions to be made immediately [16]."…”
