Abstract: Learning analytics means accumulating a broad range of ‘unclean’ data and bringing various sources together, and finally analyzing them. However, to draw educational insights from the results of these analyses, reasoning must be visualized and presented to the educators and learners. This task is often accomplished by using dashboards equipped with conventional and often simple visualizations such as bar charts, traffic lights, or meters. In this paper we want to present a method for utilizing the strengths of directed graphs, namely Hasse diagrams, and a competence-oriented approach of structuring knowledge and learning domains. In addition, this paper highlights and discusses ...
