Description

LADStudio is a web-based tool designed to facilitate the creation and management of decision-oriented learning dashboards. By providing users with powerful visualization tools, LADStudio enables the user to identify patterns, extract insights, and make data-driven decisions.

LADStudio is a tool that assists in the specification and generation of dashboards. It enables designers to collaborate with end-users in building and implementing complex dashboards by providing high-level information.

LADStudio follows a three-tier architecture, separating presentation, application processing, and management into logical processes. Modern technologies were used to implement it, and the dashboard rendering is tested using Grafana, an open-source analytics and interactive visualization tool.

A component-based approach is employed for modeling the structure of LADs. The structure and logical view of a dashboard are constructed using a hierarchy of nested components. This approach simplifies the design process by providing common, shareable, and reusable components.

The LAD specification wizard is a component of the tool that enables step-by-step specification of a dashboard. It consists of five sequential screens that guide the specification process: target use and usage description, goal setting, monitoring and perception views, analysis and comprehension views, and dashboard generation and export.
