The document summarizes the UoS MOOC Dashboard, a tool that provides real-time observation of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It analyzes over 25 course runs and 100 datasets on student enrollment, assignments, quizzes and surveys. The data is stored in a SQL database and analyzed using the MOBS tool. The Web Observatory component visualizes learner networks and identifies influential students based on comment data. The dashboard is developed and maintained by a team at the University of Southampton.
