Improving awareness and reflection through collaborative, interactive visualizations of badges

چکیده
This paper introduces novel ways of improving awareness and reflection through visualizations of badges as an abstraction of learning analytics data. We report initial findings with both a personal dashboard approach, Navi Badgeboard, that provides details on student and class progress, and a collaborative, interactive tabletop visualization, Navi Surface, to promote group reflection. We evaluate both approaches to find improvements among students regarding awareness and reflection on course activities. Our results indicate that Navi Badgeboard helps with awareness of personal activity while Navi Surface improves collaboration resulting in better reflection.
