Learning Analytics Dashboard (LAD)

The Learning Analytics Dashboard collates data from Canvas course regarding the class engagement and students' performance in the course. It provides an interactive, historical, personalized, and analytical monitoring display that reflects students’ performance and engagement in the course.

For students, the Learning Analytics Dashboard would show a list of unviewed contents and unsubmitted assignments which are hyperlinked to the corresponding items in the course to make it easier for students to keep track of contents or assignments that they still need to do.

Additionally, the Learning Analytics Dashboard would also show students a cautionary message if their engagement or assessment score fall below a set indicator.
