Dashboard for Monitoring Student Engagement in Mind Mapping Activities

摘要

Our work aims at helping teachers to monitor learners' engagement during mind mapping activities. The use of mind maps helps students to elaborate cognitive learning strategies like creating and organizing contents. To assess the quality of these mind maps, teachers need tools to understand students' choices and strategies when constructing their mind maps. We have defined in collaboration with teachers a set of indicators based on learners' interaction traces. Those indicators have been implemented and integrated in a dashboard dedicated to teachers. In this paper, we introduce a first version of the dashboard: its design, implementation, and the results of its evaluation conducted during interviews with real teachers.
