Abstract
A visual domain exploration tool is introduced that offers several viewpoints as parts of a personalized student advice and guidance solution: explanation of the personal progress over a reference body of knowledge areas, within the field of study; mapping of the actual courses in relation to the field of study where the taught topics belong; guidance in choosing courses aligned towards personal interests and abilities in respective areas. The student can visualize areas that are successfully covered by past courses, areas that are a probable point of risk, mandating greater focus and determination, and out-of-topic areas where the student is predicted to perform with greater success. The student can view the past trends of personal progress, and experiment with future tracks.
