An Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Framework for Monitoring Student Outcomes with Individualized Dashboard in Outcome-Based Education

Outcome-Based Education (OBE) emphasizes the importance of defining and assessing specific learning outcomes. Effective monitoring of these outcomes is crucial for ensuring student success and program effectiveness. Previous research has explored various approaches to enhance program outcome monitoring, however, have not fully addressed the need for individualized and comprehensive progress tracking that goes beyond binary pass or fail measurements. This paper presents a novel approach to enhance program outcome monitoring through the development of individualized dashboards and the application of an adaptive neuro-fuzzy logic (ANFIS) framework. Data were derived from CSV reports of students in a learning management system and Canvas New Analytics from a sample class in the pilot study. The ANFIS framework is based on formative and summative assessments, total and maximum page views and participation, and average weekly page views and participation. The ANFIS model and dashboard results demonstrate its effectiveness in providing students and educators with a deeper understanding of student progress in terms of program outcomes, enabling targeted interventions and personalized learning experiences. This comprehensive approach empowers educators with the tools and insights needed to optimize educational practices and ensure that all students achieve the desired learning outcomes.
