Student dashboard

What began as a learning analytics prototype has become a service that shows students their study progress, repeatedly refined and redesigned since its introduction.

The dashboard grew out of the question of how the study data gathered through the learning analytics work of the Educational Technology unit could be presented so that it benefits students themselves — not just administration. Development and visualisation details were worked out together with students (co-design) and documented across several publications.

A 2025 redesign extended the original visual analysis for more modern, more individualised curricula, adding further perspectives on study progress.
