Designing Educational Analytics Tools Using Visualization Based on Behavioral, Motivational, and Social Network Data
Abstract
The article presents a description of the approach to the use of data visualization in various educational Analytics tools when building University courses. In addition to the analysis of educational behavior, socio-psychological approaches, including the theory of expectations and social values, and the social network approach, are separately considered as prospects for analysis. An example of designing training Analytics using modern data analysis and visualization tools is analyzed.
