New systems are designed with improved quality or features. However, not every new system lives to its pre-development expectations when tested with end-users. The evaluation of the first version of our LOCO-Analyst tool for providing teachers with feedback on students learning activities and performance led to the enhancing the visualization features of the tool. The second evaluation of the improved tool allowed us to see how the improvements affect the user perceptions of the tool. Here, we present the qualitative results of our two evaluations. The results show that educators find the kinds of feedback implemented in the tool informative and they value the mix of textual and graphical representations of different kinds of feedback provided by the tool.
For example, REF developed LOCO-Analyst to provide instructors with feedback on student learning activities and performance.
