Abstract
Student success systems engage users based on their roles and needs, such as students, advisors, and instructors. Existing platforms address features such as a grade calculator for students, alert systems for advisors, and performance reports for instructors. While such features are essential in students’ learning process, we believe that more student-centric features can help students excel in their academic lives. Our proposed dashboard places students in the driver’s seat of their education with features ranging from curricular planning to integrating self-regulated learning techniques to tools to support adaptive decision-making. Our proposed dashboard can help students self-regulate and make adaptive decisions about their academic path. They can proactively seek advice to acquire additional information and prepare themselves to make the best use of their time whether studying, meeting with an adviser, or considering a new major.
