Description
Summary:[EN] The purpose of this study is to conduct an evaluation of the literature on learning analytics dashboards in order to address the following research questions: "How do instructors use learning analytics dashboards to send notifications?" and "How can a learning analytics dashboard help students get reminded of the due dates for assignments, quizzes, and exams?". A total of 20 papers were analyzed. Although the majority of them discussed how students utilize dashboards to track their progress or compare their progress with their peers, none of them mentioned how dashboards may be utilized to automatically notify students or send reminders, reducing the amount of work instructors have to do. This can be taken into account when developing a dashboard for learning analytics in the future.
