Design Considerations for Data-Driven Dashboards: Supporting Facilitation Tasks for Open-Ended Learning

Published:25 April 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

Data-driven dashboards have been increasingly integrated into various contexts, particularly in educational settings. There is a growing need to understand how to design learning dashboards to help educators support learning experiences by providing real-time formative feedback. We are studying the design of a learning dashboard that can support educational facilitation tasks in a museum setting. In our approach, we use discrete facilitation tasks as the cornerstone of our design process. Using this task-based approach, we conducted pilot studies and participatory design sessions to better understand the context of design. In this paper, we offer preliminary findings and design considerations for supporting and digitally augmenting facilitation tasks in a highly interactive, open-ended learning environment.
