This document discusses learning dashboards and analytics. It introduces learning analytics as collecting learner traces to improve learning. Dashboards focus on providing awareness to learners about their own activities and progress. They aim to help learners reflect and make sense of their data, which can lead to behavior change. Effective dashboards consider what types of data to present, such as time spent, resource use, communication, and artifacts. They also consider how to visualize data for perceived usefulness and findings. Issues include data architecture, interoperability and privacy.

collecting traces
that learners leave behind
and using those traces
to improve learning.
