Abstract

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the learning and evaluation processes have been moved to an online modality to keep social distance and reduce the spreading of the virus. The strategies implemented for assessment and proctoring in this online remote teaching and assessment emergency are no exception when proctoring test-takers. This problem is addressed from a practical context of study: the English Language Proficiency Tests of a University in southeast Mexico. Considering an iterative user-centered mixed methodology, a set of dashboards was designed, implemented and evaluated to visualize the information generated by test-takers during the administration process. An increase in the Usability of the dashboards is observed in all heuristic categories, with visual design being greater. The use of the mixed methodology and the constant user feedback during the process helped us to reduce development time compared with other works found in the literature. Moreover, it is possible to use the proposed dashboards in other application domains like medicine, or care facilities where user activity monitoring is needed to make informed decisions. categoryHuman-centered computing;Information visualization

信息可视化仪表板的监考考生在在线语言能力测试

由于COVID-19大流行，学习和评估过程已转向在线模式，以保持社交距离，减少病毒的传播。在这次网络远程教学和评估紧急事件中实施的评估和监考策略在监考考生时也不例外。本文以墨西哥东南部一所大学的英语语言能力测试为例，探讨了这一问题。考虑到迭代的以用户为中心的混合方法，设计、实现和评估了一组仪表板，以可视化考生在管理过程中生成的信息。仪表板的可用性在所有启发式类别中都有所提高，其中视觉设计的提高幅度更大。与文献中发现的其他作品相比，混合方法的使用和过程中不断的用户反馈帮助我们减少了开发时间。此外，建议的仪表板还可以用于其他应用领域，如医疗或护理设施，在这些领域中需要对用户活动进行监控以做出明智的决策。以人为本的计算;信息可视化

期刊介绍： Interacting with Computers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, is an official publication of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT and the Interaction Specialist Group . Interacting with Computers (IwC) was launched in 1987 by interaction to provide access to the results of research in the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) - an increasingly crucial discipline within the Computer, Information, and Design Sciences. Now one of the most highly rated journals in the field, IwC has a strong and growing Impact Factor, and a high ranking and excellent indices (h-index, SNIP, SJR).
