Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed an online dashboard system for undergraduate students in Japanese Universities. The focus of the system is data-driven support for academic success in students’ selecting subjects. In order to achieve this objective, it fits student’s self-directed learning (SDL) readiness, his/her academic record data collected by IR office, and features of the course. The dashboard, thereafter, indicates major determining factors in the course selection: (1) the student’s level of SDL readiness (2) learning activities and the SDL readiness required in the class; (3) tendency for the teacher in charge to over-/under-mark. Although its pilot users valued the information shown on the dashboard, they pointed out room for improvement both in contents and interface.
