Towards more Visual Analytics in Learning Analytics
Abstract
Learning Analytics is the collection, management and analysis of students’ learning. It is used to enable teachers
to understand how their students are progressing and for learners to ascertain how well they are performing.
Often the data is displayed through dashboards. However, there is a huge opportunity to include more comprehensive
and interactive visualizations that provide visual depictions and analysis throughout the lifetime of the
learner, monitoring their progress from novices to experts. We therefore encourage researchers to take a comprehensive
approach and re-think how visual analytics can be applied to the learning environment, and develop more
interactive and exploratory interfaces for the learner and teacher.
