Learning Analytics Dashboards

Joris Klerkx, Katrien Verbert & Erik Duval


Abstract

This chapter presents learning analytics dashboards that visualize learning traces to give users insight into the learning process. Examples are shown of what data these dashboards use, for whom they are intended, what the goal is, and how data can be visualized. In addition, guidelines on how to get started with the development of learning analytics dashboards are presented for practitioners and researchers.
