A first approach to “Learning Dashboards” in formal learning contexts

Abstract

This position paper introduces to “learning dashboards”, flagged as a new breed of eLearning interfaces. Following an observation of 3 instances of these structures for regulative support, it suggests possible effects on attention to the learning experience, reflective learning and sense of personalisation. The paper concludes with the identification of research challenges associated with the mirroring of tracked data, inherent to these displays.
