Springer, Cham, pp. 587-590, The benefits of Open Learner Model for learners have been widely demonstrated: supporting learning and metacognition, facilitating self-monitoring and planning, improving self-assessment skills… In this paper, we investigate the benefits of using an OLM for teachers. 10 teachers have been using the OLM in order to monitor their class in the context of a 12 day intensive course using the speed reading application Hizligo and involving 87 students. The OLM have been regularly used by teachers, using different visualisations, mainly in the aim to identify the strengths and weakness of both their class and their individual students. Teachers found the OLM easy to use and to understand and helpful for their teaching.
