Learning analytics offer the new ways to be able to provide feedback to students on their performance and engagement with learning. One such method is through dashboards within learning management systems, yet little is currently known about how students may interpret and respond to feedback delivered in this format. In this seminar we will present the results of a recent research study which explored students’ interpretation of feedback visualised through a dashboard in two subjects at the University of Melbourne. Issues and recommendations for teachers considering delivering feedback to students in this way will also be discussed.
