Designing Instructor Dashboard Interfaces: A Self-Determination Theory Approach
Abstract: Instructor dashboards are promising to become one of the most powerful tools for instructors to analyze, reflect and make changes on their teaching strategies in the classroom. Nowadays, their use has started to spread and popularize in different educational settings. Motivational design of dashboards is critical in promoting instructors’ engagement and effective use of these platforms. The present study applies self-determination theory (SDT) to an understanding about how instructor dashboards can be designed to support instructors’ motivation and use. The poster will present design heuristics that can be implemented in instructor dashboards design. The prototypes developed using these heuristics will be illustrated in the context of an automated teaching analytics project.
