<strong>HOW DATA WERE COLLECTED</strong><br>
Data provided in this dataset were collected in Fall 2016 as part of the Bachelor course 'Formation des usagers en bibliothèques' taught at the University of applied sciences Geneva (Information Sciences Department).   <br>
Data were generated by the interaction of the students with DAD, the Dynamic assessment dashboard, software to be released in 2017 (https://github.com/grolimur/DAD). Only data related to individual activities are published in this set. They were then cleaned and anonymised.

The activities.csv file is provided for information purpose.

Data are provided in 2 formats:

* Comma-spearated values (submissions.csv)<br>
* SQLite (submissions.sqlite)

CSV is not correctly read by Excel, it's recommended to convert it into an .xslx file before using it.   <br>
SQLite is provided in order to apply different sorting and filters to the data. It can be read using SQLite manager for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/).
