Any research for Onscreen Visual Assessment meter/slider?
May 24, 2018
One of our projects is to design a visual "meter" that will display the learner's confidence level and assessment scores throughout the training. I was wondering if anyone came across research to determine the positive and negative impacts on the learner always seeing their scores? I know we can hide the meter and allow the learner to recall when needed but having some research would be valuable. We did something similar for a medical course where scoring moved into the green (patient was still alive) or into the red (patient should start saying their goodbyes) as assessments/interactions were completed. We are aware of the gaming sites that have a good track record of this data but not sure if learning and gaming are similar in these affects. Thanks.

As you mentioned, I'd probably lean on what gaming experts have researched. Essentially it's a case of motivation and how well that info motivates.
For example, when I'm on my Peloton I can see an immediate correlation between my effort and the metrics. If the metrics were static, they'd be less interesting to me. I'd assume a positive correlation between the scores combined with some sort of constant movement on them.
