Moving from data to dashboard in a single program, this paper shows how Base SAS® and SAS/STAT® software can be used with the power of PROC GKPI to go from raw data to meaningful statistical summaries of benchmarked performance. Benchmarking is a common process by which organizations measure performance against group norms, past performance, or expected performance. For example, a school might ...

Even though Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) have been shown to help students learn, little research has investigated how a dashboard could help teachers help their students. In this paper, we explore how a dashboard prototype designed for an ITS affects teachers’ knowledge about their students, their classroom lesson plans and class sessions. We conducted a quasi-experimental classroom study...

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) help students learn but often are not designed to support teachers and their practices. A dashboard with analytics about students’ learning processes might help in this regard. However, little research has investigated how dashboards influence teacher practices in the classroom and whether they can help improve student learning. In this paper, we explore how ...
