The document summarizes a study that examined how self-regulated learning (SRL) skills relate to students' sense-making of learning analytics dashboards. The study found that two factors supported sense-making: transparency of dashboard design and support for action. SRL skills, particularly goal setting and help-seeking, predicted how relevant students found these sense-making factors. The study concluded dashboards should recognize different SRL levels, scaffold development of SRL skills, have transparent designs, and enable students to take immediate action.
