Description¶

CLICKSTREAM's lesson-level dashboard shows the percentage of students who have completed pre-class activities in a learning cycle (reading, comprehension activities, homework, downloads) in time for instructors to adapt. When most learners are prepared, instructors proceed with active, constructive, interactive lesson elements; when preparation is low, "The dashboard could signal this to an instructor in the hours before a lesson, and they could quickly pivot to the less engaging but more adaptive didactic lecturing." This is a step-loop adaptivity application of enriched trace data.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Raw data must flow into CLICKSTREAM and be enriched in real time
• Resources must be tagged with their role in the learning cycle and temporal alignment to the lesson

Constraints¶

• The article presents this as an opportunity and prototype capability, not an evaluated intervention

Target Learners¶

• undergraduate course instructors

Target Learning Goals¶

• matching lesson delivery to students' preparedness so students can acquire basic content knowledge

Related Strategies¶

• Just In Time Teaching
• Standard Inverted Classroom
