Our approach to interactive sensemaking has three main parts: (1) a temporal student data model, (2) data analytics based on unsupervised learning, and (3) storytelling about the student experience. Most of the learning management tools involve data scientists in the knowledge discovery process to design the student data model, analytics approach, visualizations, and a reporting system to understand students' patterns of success or failure. FIRST automatically generates stories for each student using the features selected in the temporal data model. ./cache/cord-028394-oq4z0nhc.txt ./txt/cord-028394-oq4z0nhc.txt
