When analyzing progress in a learning experience, different types of metrics provide valuable insights. Below are the key metrics used in visualizations, their use cases, and their benefits.
Metric Types
The scoring model includes four metric types: |
Starting Value Metric: Used in visualizations to represent the initial value of a metric before any changes occur. |
Isolated Metric: |
End of Round Metric: |
Current Total Metric: |
Use Cases
Starting Value Metric
Use Case: Establishing a baseline for comparison in visualizations.
Benefit: Helps learners and facilitators see how much progress has been made by providing a clear reference point before any changes or actions take place.
Total Metric
Use Case: Tracking a learner’s overall progress throughout an entire course or experience.
Benefit: Measures long-term progress and is useful when performance should build over time, providing a cumulative score across multiple rounds.
End of Round Metric
Use Case: Tracking a learner’s cumulative score at the end of each round in a learning experience.
Benefit: Provides a clear checkpoint for progress after each round, helping learners analyze performance trends and adjust their strategy before moving forward.
Isolated Round Metric
Use Case: Measuring performance within a single round without factoring in any initial values or previous scores.
Benefit: Enables fair comparisons between rounds without historical influence.By understanding these metrics, learners and facilitators can make more informed decisions and effectively track progress within their learning journeys.
DIY
No manual setup needed—Studio automatically creates these four metric types for you.
To attach a scoring variable to a visualization, simply select your metric type: starting value, current total, end of round, or isolated metric.
Studio will calculate the score accordingly.
