Module overviewPage shows an overall view of one presentation of an OU moduleTop chart shows average VLE activity in each week compared to VLE activity in the previous yearsThis chart also shows average score in each of the TMAs, again compared with the previous yearThe bar below the chart shows interesting summaries from the current module presentation with clearly visible trends (compared to the last year)The most important part of the module overview is the table with predictionsThe table shows predictions for the next TMA as well as for the whole moduleIt is possible sort the table by any of the columns, for example by next TMA predictionMoreover, the user can narrow the view by applying various filter settings, i.e. only students of region XY etc.- After selecting one student, the user is redirected to the student overview page...22
Student overviewSimilarly to the module overview page, the top chart shows students activity in the VLE together with her TMA performance compared the the average of the whole moduleTo understand, how the prediction models decisions were made, the target in the bottom left of the chart shows the most similar students to the currently selected student based on demographics and VLE activities It is possible to put different weights to either one of the parameters of the target (the VLE activities and the demographics)The table in the bottom right of the chart shows TMA submission predictions compared to real values and justifications of the predictions To improve the students performance based on his current activities, we provide personalized recommendations for each of the studentsThese recommendations consist of various activities which the student is missing and are important for successfully finishing the moduleThe recommendations contain links which point directly to the module website to the appropriate activities and resources23
