Description¶

For first-time young users, the authors recommend a distinct orientation period: "An orientation period with proper training could help to familiarize these very young learners with using comprehensive learning systems effectively and correctly." They further recommend translating profile findings into pedagogical solutions, suggesting a teacher-facing dashboard could allow teachers to monitor students' emerging profiles and offer class-wide interventions guiding transitions toward more effective profiles.

Design Implications¶

Context¶
