Addressing learner issues with StepUp!: an evaluation
Book Contribution - Book Chapter Conference Contribution
This paper reports on our research on the use of learning analytics
dashboards to support awareness, self-reflection, sensemaking and
impact for learners. So far, little research has been done to
evaluate such dashboards with students and to assess their impact
on learning. In this paper, we present the results of an evaluation
study of our dashboard, called StepUp!, and the extent to which it
addresses issues and needs of our students. Through
brainstorming sessions with our students, we identified and
prioritized learning issues and needs. In a second step, we
deployed StepUp! during one month and we evaluated to which
extent our dashboard addresses the issues and needs identified
earlier in different courses. The results show that our tool has
potentially higher impact for students working in groups and
sharing a topic than students working individually on different
topics.
