(SpringerBriefs in Business Process Management) Learning Analytics Cookbook_ How to Support Learning Processes Through Data Analytics and Visualizatio

34 4 Understanding Student-Driven Learning Processes
We address this issue in this recipe by introducing DojoIBL (Suárez et al. 2016,
2017) in the preparation section and then showing in the cooking
section how teachers can easily create their own visualizations in the system.
Teachers can create courses, projects, or seminars, and the students can follow them
in a structured way. The recipe ends with a concrete example of how a teacher with
no previous experience with the system can easily create a visualization for his or her
specific scenario. We promise that, in less than an hour, you could be using DojoIBL
with your students and using customized learning analytics dashboards to
monitor them.
