Abstract
The THERMOS dashboard provides students with actionable feedback regarding the following aspects of study behavior: motivation, engagement, groupwork skills and progress. These aspects are visualized on a learning analytics dashboard, along with suggestions for increasing these aspects. Initial results show users’ interest in the dashboard and their need for explanations of the dashboard’s context and purpose. Detailed data pertaining to usability and perceived value is currently being gathered to be presented during the conference.
