Monitoring Student Team Progress and Responses in Guided Inquiry Learning with Technology

Abstract

Technology has the potential to improve the quality and scalability of education. Guided Inquiry Learning with Technology (GILT) studies how web-based collaborative tools can support Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) and other forms of social constructivism. This paper describes data visualization features to help instructors monitor the progress of student teams and facilitate learning, through the use of summary tables, timelines, Sankey diagrams, and word trees.
