Learning Analytics Dashboards for Professional Training - Challenges and Proposal (original) (raw)

Exploiting the large quantities of traces left by learners in Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) allows educators, learners and administrators to gain new insights into the learning process. Learning Analytics (LA) aims to leverage data collection, measurement, analysis and reporting data which can help users to improve the learning process. This paper presents the first results of the work we are conducting in a professional learning context to design an effective learning analytics dashboard. We show the particularities and explain the different challenges of our context that have led us to propose models to tackle it. We discuss how these models meet the requirements of our domain, and we finally give an example of indicators, measures and visualization built with educators to help them better understand the learner’s behavior.
