What is Learning Dashboard

Handbook of Research on Operational Quality Assurance in Higher Education for Life-Long Learning
Like any HMI, dashboards are visual displays for quick and safe information monitoring at a glance for fair decision-making. Thus, only the most important information is provided, consolidated and arranged for the goal. The learning dashboards aim at self-monitoring for learners and awareness for teachers during the training. Then, the challenge of Learning Analytic Dashboard is feedback and guidance at the right moment, based on time tracking and learning resource use for recommendations. The solution lies in the following 3-step process: select and get the necessary data, clean and treat the data for the objectives, then visualize the right way (design for usability, reduce non-data pixels but enhance the data pixels).

Educational Serious Games Enhance Social Intelligence Through Collective Action: Issue of Digital Transition Might Change Paradigms
Walter Nuninger (Université de Lille, France) and Jean-Marie Châtelet (Université de Lille, France)
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-1238-8.ch009
Abstract
Pedagogical serious games sound like up-to-date pedagogical devices for learning efficiency. But the challenge of higher performance in HE lies in tailored pedagogical devices and their usage for the learning goal; a choice to consider according to the training specifications (learning outcome), the learners' needs, and the trainer's expertise (tailored approach). The guidance by the trainer is a value-added, but a risk-taking activity changing the paradigm with the trainee. Digital integration into serious games is a 4-dimension transition: 1) group characterization facilitation for social intelligence, 2) subliminal learning in a virtual environment for commitment, 3) trainer dashboard based on individual e-preparation for feedback priorization, and 4) automation of events for gameplay and increasing skills. The splitting of space and time constraints is a new opportunity that challenges the trainer's role, changing the usual balance during face-to-face training. The proposed standard for hybrid PSG design should overcome the gaps and guarantee a real benefit from digital technology.

Learning Analytics: A Lever for Professional Development of Teachers?
According to Verpoorten, Westera and Specht (2011) , a Learning Dashboard is a “ […] reflective tool interweaving personal and contextual information about learning at hand. An argument is made that this crisscrossing between content-related and self-related dimensions, arranged within a permanent, visual and dynamic display, is a new phenomenon in the practice of formal eLearning education. Its emergence stands at the cross-section of reflective practice, self-regulation and personalisation issues. Technically speaking, it is made possible by progress achieved in tracking and mirroring techniques. Common characteristics of learning dashboards are that they: • add an additional layer of meta-information to learning contents and tasks. This extra layer endows learners with self-appraisal and learning-related indicators, gauges, meters, etc.; • create this additional layer of meta-information by mirroring personal tracked data (feedback by the system to the learner […]) and/or by recording personal information proactively provided by learners (feedback by the learner to the system […]); • display this additional layer of meta-information in a one-stop place from which, in return for an effort of awareness and reflection, students can keep an updated status of their situation in the course and to better control it; • seem to be designed according to 3 principles: comprehension (following a metalearning or sense-making ambition), condensation (following a portal orientation) and possibly combination (following a mash-up orientation); • diversely develop the visual aspects; • in some instances […] offer an option to confront own mirrored data to some kind of yardstick; • can be arranged at different levels of granularity: single pages […] or whole course […].”
