Taskin Hamid , Professor, Institute of Education and Research, University of Dhaka, BangladeshAbstract
"In the digital age, online learning platforms have become increasingly prevalent, offering flexible and accessible education opportunities. However, ensuring student engagement and success in these virtual environments remains a significant challenge. "Insights into Online Learning: Developing and Assessing Learning Analytics Dashboards for Enhanced Engagement" explores the development and evaluation of learning analytics dashboards aimed at enhancing student engagement and performance in online discussion activities. This study investigates the design, implementation, and impact of interactive dashboards that provide real-time feedback and insights into student participation, contributions, and learning progression. Through a mixed-methods approach, including usability testing and student feedback surveys, this research evaluates the effectiveness of these dashboards in promoting active participation, fostering collaboration, and improving learning outcomes in online learning environmentsa.
