How to Visualize Success: Presenting Complex Data in a Writing Strategy Tutor

Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) have been successful at improving students' performance across a variety of domains. To help achieve this widespread success, researchers have identified important behavioral and performance measures that can be used to guide instruction and feedback. Most systems, however, do not present these measures to the teachers who employ the systems in classrooms. The current paper discusses visualizations that will be displayed to teachers using the writing strategy tutor, Writing Pal. We present visualizations for both classroom and student level data and offer descriptions of each.
