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

40 4 Understanding Student-Driven Learning Processes
Fig. 4.9 Alternative way to visualize the number of contributions
Figure 4.9 shows another example of a visualization with the same query we used
before so you can see that the system allows for multiple representations of the same
data, and you can try out which way of presenting the data works best for you.
When you have reached this point in the recipe, you are able to integrate learning
analytics visualizations from the StefLa platform into DojoIBL. Congratulations!
4.4 Cooking
1. Start with the DojoIBL structure and some students who are using it.
2. Add a query that retrieves the data you want to visualize.
3. Create a visualization and obtain the link to insert in DojoIBL.
4. Work in DojoIBL.
5. Look at the dashboard section in one of the groups to check the visualizations.
4.5 Serving
Let’s work with a real example. Let’s imagine that you are a Spanish teacher in a
second-language-acquisition course, and you want to use inquiry-based learning
with your students. You are planning to use DojoIBL to give structure to the inquiry
process and to provide an effective way to support students’ inquiry process.
First, think about what you want your students to investigate. In this example, you
could ask your students to research how satirical magazines use humor and irony to
convey critical messages to political parties, religions, and public figures.
In an inquiry project, the teacher usually sets the theme of the investigation, but
the students are in the driver’s seat, managing their own learning and exploring what
