Background: Teacher dashboards can help secondary school teachers manage online learning activities and inform instructional decisions by visualising information about class learning. However, when designing teacher dashboards, it is not trivial to choose which information to display, because not all of the vast amount of information retrieved…

Learning analytics dashboards (LADs) provide educators and students with a comprehensive snapshot of the learning domain. Visualizations showcasing student learning behavioral patterns can help students gain greater self-awareness of their learning progression, and at the same time assist educators in identifying those students who may be facing…

The use of the flipped classroom (FC) model in higher education is becoming increasingly common. Although the FC model has many benefits, there are some limitations using this model for learners who do not have self-directed learning skills and do not have a developed learner autonomy. One of these limitations is that students with low academic…

Background: The potential of learning analytics dashboards in virtual reality simulation-based training environments to influence occupational self-efficacy via self-reflection phase processes in the Chemical industry is still not fully understood. Learning analytics dashboards provide feedback on learner performance and offer points of comparison…

Learning analytics dashboards are becoming increasingly common tools for providing feedback to learners. However, there is limited empirical evidence regarding the effects of learning analytics dashboard design features on learners' cognitive load, particularly in digital learning environments. To address this gap, we developed goal-based,…

This research examined the effect of learning analytics (LA) on students' metacognitive awareness and academic achievement in an online learning environment. In this study, a mixed methods approach was used and applied as a quasi-experimental design. The results of LA were sent to students weekly in LA group (experimental group) via learning…

Peer assessment has been recognised as a sustainable and scalable assessment method that promotes higher-order learning and provides students with fast and detailed feedback on their work. Despite these benefits, some common concerns and criticisms are associated with the use of peer assessments (eg, scarcity of high-quality feedback from peer…

Background: Feedback is central to formative assessments but aligns with a one-way information transmission perspective obstructing students' effective engagement with feedback. Previous research has shown that a responsive, dialogic feedback process that requires educators and students to engage in ongoing conversations can encourage student…

This paper presents a teacher dashboard intervention study in secondary school practice involving teachers (n = 16) with their classes (n = 22) and students (n = 403). A quasi-experimental treatment-control group design was implemented to compare student learning outcomes between classrooms where teachers did not have access to the dashboard and…

Large-scale assessments play a key role in education: educators and stakeholders need to know what students know and can do, so that they can be prepared for education policies and interventions in teaching and learning. However, a score from the assessment may not be enough--educators need to know why students got low scores, how students engaged…

Assessing group work formatively in higher education poses a significant challenge. The complexity of evaluating individual contributions is compounded by the lack of efficient and effective methods for tracking, analysing and assessing individual engagement and contributions, which can impede timely feedback and the development of group work…

Choosing an undergraduate major is an important decision that impacts academic and career outcomes. In this work, we investigate augmenting personalized human advising for major selection using a large language model (LLM), GPT-4. Through a three-phase survey, we compare GPT suggestions and responses for undeclared first- and second-year students…

Feedback is critical in providing personalized information about educational processes and supporting their performance in online collaborative learning environments. However, giving effective feedback and monitoring its effects, which is especially important in online environments, is a complex issue. Although providing feedback by analyzing…

Cognitive ability is closely associated with the acquisition of programming skills, and enhancing learners' cognitive ability is a crucial factor in improving the efficacy of programming education. Adaptive feedback strategies can provide learners with personalized support based on their learning context, which helps to stimulate their interest…

Many AIED systems support self-regulated learning, yet, support for setting and achieving practice goals has received little attention. We examine how middle school students respond to system-recommended practice goals, building on the success of similar data-driven recommendations in other domains. We introduce an adaptive dashboard in an…
