Abstract
In online learning, teachers need constant feedback about their students’ progress and regulation needs. Learning Analytics Dashboards for process-oriented feedback can be a valuable tool for this purpose. However, few such dashboards have been proposed in literature, and most of them lack empirical validation or grounding in learning theories. We present a teacher-facing dashboard for process-oriented feedback in online learning, co-designed and evaluated through an iterative design process involving teachers and visualization experts. We also reflect on our design process by discussing the challenges, pitfalls, and successful strategies for building this type of dashboard.
