Abstract

The study uses a user-centered design methodology to develop a prototype for an interactive student dashboard that focuses on user needs. This includes iterative testing and integration of user feedback to develop a usable interface that presents academic data in a more understandable and intuitive manner. Key features of the dashboard include academic progress tracking and personalized recommendations based on machine learning. The primary target audience is online students who may study in isolation and have less physical contact with their peers. The learner dashboard (LD) will be developed as a plug-in to the university’s learning management system. The study presents the results of a workshop with students experienced in human-com-puter interaction. They evaluated a prototype of the LD using established interaction principles. The research provides critical insights for future advancements in educational technology and drives the creation of more interactive, personalized, and easy-to-use tools in the academic landscape.
