Abstract

Early-warning dashboards promise timely instructor intervention, but many systems surface too many signals without indicating which actions are appropriate. We evaluate a dashboard that groups programming-course signals into progress, persistence, and misconception indicators, each linked to suggested instructor responses. Field deployment across 611 students showed faster identification of inactive groups and more targeted office-hour outreach, with instructors reporting lower triage effort.
