This document discusses learning dashboards and learnscapes. It describes a team that conducts research on technology enhanced learning, music, and human-computer interaction. The team explores collecting learner data through tools like blogs, virtual machines, and learning management systems to provide awareness, self-reflection, and sense making for learners. The document also lists some challenges around user tracking, evaluation, and architectural issues and announcements for upcoming presentations.
