Abstract

When learning activities are enhanced by technologies, data can be collected in real time and can be represented in the form of dashboards on which teachers can rely for decision-making in the orchestration of their interventions. This paper presents Git4School, a dashboard for teachers offering visualizations based on data extracted from students’ Git repositories combined with complementary temporal contextual information. Based on a case study, a qualitative analysis shows how Git4School was used by teachers to guide their decision-making during face to face courses.
