Abstract
This is the fourth in a series of evidence briefs reporting on four A/B/n tests that explore different features to enhance digital personalised learning (DPL) tools. This brief investigates the extent to which providing notifications to pre-primary teachers to view data dashboards impacts learner device usage and learning outcomes. The A/B/C test found no impact on device usage and negligible impact on learning outcomes. This suggests that accompanying data dashboards with notifications did not influence pedagogical practice in a way that affected learning. Recommendations for DPL providers and researchers are discussed, taking into account contextual factors.
