Project page Xerte teacher dashboard

Purpose of the project.

Xerte is an educational application offered by UU to teachers to create online modules (e-modules). The goal of this project is to improve the content of Xerte e-modules and adapt the course material based on so-called learning traces of students, such as how students answer questions in the e-modules. Based on this information, questions could be rephrased or specific feedback regarding the correct answer could be given. 

Educate - it and team LA work together to ensure that this dashboard will be available and evaluated.

Hypotheses and intended outcomes.

There appears to be a relationship between how students interact with online study materials and study success, with students who make greater use of the available materials having a higher likelihood of success (Ifenthaler & Yau, 2020; Perera & Richardson, 2010). There is also research supporting the positive relation between teachers adapting to students’ needs and students’ study success (Vogt & Rogalla, 2009). We therefore expect that if teachers make use of the Xerte dashboard to adapt course materials and student support, that this will lead to higher student engagement, course satisfaction, and maybe even higher grades.
