This session will present on how to develop basic research administration dashboards using Tableau. A sample research administration dataset will be provided in Excel for anyone who would like to work along. Using that data set the presenter will show step by step how to import the data into Tableau and how to create basic worksheets and dashboards. Calculations and filters will be shown also. Attendees should download a trial version of Tableau the same week as the conference if they would like to work along the presenter.

The NetSage Measurement Framework: Design, Development, and Discoveries
Data sharing to support research collaborations has increased exponentially in the last ten years, but effective data transfer performance continues to be hard to achieve. The NetSage Measurement and Analysis framework was developed to support understanding research data movement by collecting a broad set of monitoring data from various resources, and visualizing that data using performance Dashboards which are specifically designed to address the analysis needs of stakeholders. This paper describes the design methodology, the resulting architecture, development, and deployment approach, and a set of discoveries that NetSage Dashboards made possible.

Michalsky, Tova; Moos, Daniel (Ed.)Teachers’ ability to self-regulate their own learning is closely related to their competency to enhance self-regulated learning (SRL) in their students. Accordingly, there is emerging research for the design of teacher dashboards that empower instructors by providing access to quantifiable evidence of student performance and SRL processes. Typically, they capture evidence of student learning and performance to be visualized through activity traces (e.g., bar charts showing correct and incorrect response rates, etc.) and SRL data (e.g., eye-tracking on content, log files capturing feature selection, etc.) in order to provide teachers with monitoring and instructional tools. Critics of the current research on dashboards used in conjunction with advanced learning technologies (ALTs) such as simulations, intelligent tutoring systems, and serious games, argue that the state of the field is immature and has 1) focused only on exploratory or proof-of-concept projects, 2) investigated data visualizations of performance metrics or simplistic learning behaviors, and 3) neglected most theoretical aspects of SRL including teachers’ general lack of understanding their’s students’ SRL. Additionally, the work is mostly anecdotal, lacks methodological rigor, and does not collect critical process data (e.g. frequency, duration, timing, or fluctuations of cognitive, affective, metacognitive, and motivational (CAMM) SRL processes) during learning with ALTs used in the classroom. No known research in the areas of learning analytics, teacher dashboards, or teachers’ perceptions of students’ SRL and CAMM engagement has systematically and simultaneously examined the deployment, temporal unfolding, regulation, and impact of all these key processes during complex learning. In this manuscript, we 1) review the current state of ALTs designed using SRL theoretical frameworks and the current state of teacher dashboard design and research, 2) report the important design features and elements within intelligent dashboards that provide teachers with real-time data visualizations of their students’ SRL processes and engagement while using ALTs in classrooms, as revealed from the analysis of surveys and focus groups with teachers, and 3) propose a conceptual system design for integrating reinforcement learning into a teacher dashboard to help guide the utilization of multimodal data collected on students’ and teachers’ CAMM SRL processes during complex learning.more » « less

ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of food and nutrition information requires new ways of data sharing and dissemination. Interactive platforms integrating data portals and visualization dashboards have been effectively utilized to describe, monitor, and track information related to food and nutrition; however, a comprehensive evaluation of emerging interactive systems is lacking. We conducted a systematic review on publicly available dashboards using a set of 48 evaluation metrics for data integrity, completeness, granularity, visualization quality, and interactivity based on 4 major principles: evidence, efficiency, emphasis, and ethics. We evaluated 13 dashboards, summarized their characteristics, strengths, and limitations, and provided guidelines for developing nutrition dashboards. We applied mixed effects models to summarize evaluation results adjusted for interrater variability. The proposed metrics and evaluation principles help to improve data standardization and harmonization, dashboard performance and usability, broaden information and knowledge sharing among researchers, practitioners, and decision makers in the field of food and nutrition, and accelerate data literacy and communication.more » « less

Despite the potential of learning analytics dashboards (LADs) to support learners’ needs for autonomy, little research has been conducted on designing LADs to support student autonomy. In this paper, we reported the process of designing a student-facing LAD that offers students’ autonomy support by providing necessary information for students to set their own goals and choose learning activities that are aligned with their goals. A leaderboard was also integrated into the LAD to promote student motivation. Reeves’s (2006) design-based research model was adopted to develop the LAD. The final version of the LAD was presented, and the significance of the work was discussed.more » « less

Many small and rural places are shrinking. Interactive dashboards are the most common use cases for data visualization and context for exploratory data tools. In our paper, we will use Iowa data to explore the specific scope of how dashboards are used in small and rural area to empower novice analysts to make data-driven decisions. Our framework will suggest a number of research directions to better support small and rural places from shrinking using an interactive dashboard design, implementation and use for the every day analyst.more » « less
