experience through a course activity and, during the semester of thestudy, through a short survey. 2Course Page 26.1374.7 Figure 1. Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle framing of course activities.III. MethodsDuring the fall semester of 2014, a study was conducted in an introductory computing course fornon-computer science majors. The purpose of this study was to measure the relationship betweenthe skills learned using the simulated environment and those demonstrated on the final Excelexam. This examination also explored student confidence, comfort, and self-efficacy forapplying the skills taught in the stimulation to a real-world environment

is an investigation of how studentsinteract with data or how faculty can use data to change teaching.3 Practices that select relevantdata traces and develop dashboards with learners instead of for learners may lead to strongerstudent self-efficacy, build on existing social learning theory, and benefit from perspectivesfound within human centered design practices.Our interdisciplinary team of faculty and graduate students from engineering education,computer science, human computer interaction, human centered design, learning sciences, andvisual communications are following a mixed-methods, human centered approach to dashboarddevelopment that breaks new ground in learning analytics by involving the end users throughoutthe dashboard design and

autonomy. The learner can stop,rewind, and replay a screencast as many times as she wants and move with her own pace. Shecan watch the screencast at any location and time on a world-wide-web browser that can be on apersonal computer, a tablet, or a smart phone. The initial learning is fast since students do not Page 26.737.3spend time in interpreting the steps and avoid the laborious trial-and-error process. Since astudent learns by observing the desired behavior of an expert on the screencast, it aids learnerswith low self-efficacy in exploring the demonstrated behaviors1. Teaching how to use CAD software with the screencasts has additional
