Abstract
One of the common uses of artificial intelligence in higher education is learning dashboards, which aim at collecting and analyzing student information and providing feedback to students. Despite limited studies on dashboards in language learning, this chapter describes the design, development, and evaluation of a dashboard designed for a university English course, aiming to provide insights to learning designers, teachers, and researchers. The Course Diagnostic Report was developed after consulting with subject leaders, and it was piloted with students. The results of the pilot showed students were satisfied with this dashboard, showing average scores of the previous cohort of students and suggestions for improvement. Still, students requested better suggestions and sophisticated visualizations to understand their standing in the course. By describing the whole process of development and evaluation, this chapter provides insights on how future dashboards could be designed with better visualizations and the potential of this project for teachers with little knowledge of dashboards.
