With the increase of potential datasources for learning analytics (e.g., learning management systems, technology-enhancedclassrooms, and automated and manual classroom observation), learning dashboards are anemerging area of development. To be meaningful, data – especially large data sets – requireseffective processing, analysis, and visualization [1].
