Teacher Dashboards
“A challenging task for most, if not all instructors, is the task of trying to gauge student interest and learning during the course of a lecture. Under current approaches, it is very difficult to understand how well the students are grasping the lecture while the lecture is in progress.” (Peiper, 2009).
Brown et al. (2006) implemented an Instructor Digital Dashboard. “From research on how students learn, two well-supported principles have emerged that are particularly relevant to addressing these challenges. First, students’ learning improves and their understanding deepens when they are given timely and targeted feedback on their work (Butler & Winne, 1995; Corbett & Anderson, 2001; NRC, 2000, 2001). By “feedback” we refer to corrections, suggestions, cues, and explanations that are tailored to the individual’s current performance and that encourage revision and refinement. Second, for students to benefit from a conceptual framework that organizes the material they are learning, instruction needs to make that framework salient, and students need to practice making connections between related ideas (Eylon & Reif, 1984).” (Brown et al., 2006)
