I like the idea of standardization of metrics. Are there different classes of metrics? e.g., logistical -- completion rates, pedagogical -- the kinds of responses students input, etc...
Sorry for my late response... The issue pointed out by Stian is very important to me.
It is very common that instructors have in mind a set of connected activities, something like a "logical activity" or "subgraph", an intermediate level between an activity and a graph. An example may involve what occurs in the first level of a pyramid, in which student read resources, create a concept map and provide an ordered list of prioritized list. Then, they move to the second level of the pyramid, in which they try to find a consensus on the concept map and the prioritized list of items.
In the current conceptualization, a dashboard provides indicators (I prefer to think more of a container of data and indicators, and not a visualization) based on actions within a single activity (while in the example we have three connected activities). Thus, there should be a way to connect the three "dashboards-data containers" taking into account their location - connections in the graph. Thus, one might provide a first step of connecting the learning design product (the graph) and the learning analytics "container", and then try to create indicators that span the connected set of activities (the "subgraph"). This might be done through an action at the FROG editor, where the designer defines that these three activities are connected and that learning analytics should be obtained for the whole set.
Regarding the metrics, i.e the learning analytics indicators, a combined one might be very interesting.
