Paper Title: TeamSlides: a Multimodal Teamwork Analytics Dashboard for Teacher-guided Reflection in a Physical Learning Space
Summary: Our paper explores the development and utilisation of TeamSlides, a dashboard aimed at enhancing teacher-guided reflection on teamwork dynamics in educational settings. Through an extensive classroom study, we found that while TeamSlides effectively facilitated discussions and reflection, challenges arose in interpreting the data, highlighting the need for careful consideration in Multimodal Learning Analytics research.
