Emerging research on human-centered learning analytics (HCLA) has demonstrated the importance of involving diverse stakeholders in co-designing learning analytics (LA) systems. However, there is still a demand for effective and efficient methods to co-design LA dashboards and indicators. Indicator Specification Cards (ISCs) have been introduced recently to facilitate the systematic co-design of indicators by different LA stakeholders. In this paper, we strive to enhance the user experience and usefulness of the ISC-based indicator design process. Towards this end, we present the systematic design, implementation, and evaluation details of the ISC Creator, an interactive LA tool that allows low-cost and flexible design of LA indicators. Our findings demonstrate the importance of carefully considered interactivity and recommendations for orienting and supporting non-expert LA stakeholders to design custom LA indicators.
