5 ways data analytics is critical to the success of every student, faculty and campus

In the digital age, big data and analytics are the top priority for colleges and higher education. Data tracking technologies provide new expectations and capabilities for educational institutions. Analytics provides a 360-degree view of different users in the institution including students, faculty, staff and administrators to communicate data through graphs and charts for taking data-driven decisions at the right time.

Dashboard reports and insights will accelerate analytical thinking and deliver a competitive advantage to the institution, but it will largely depend upon how they are using automated tools to analyze data to make informed choices. Manual effort is eliminated and speedy and accurate reports are generated. Real-time analytics of college or campus data, with drill-down capabilities, improve student retention and success while protecting student privacy. Here is a list of five ways to optimize analytics in your institution to achieve the success of every student, faculty, and campus.

1. Admission

Today’s admissions in colleges are organized using the web, mobile and digital technologies to attract and enroll students based on pre-defined targets in quality, quantity and diversity.  Admission data offer insights to students’ lifestyle preferences, college selection inclinations, and career aspirations.

2. Enrollment

With access to rich data, enrollment-related information predicts the interest levels of students for successfully completing courses. Enrollment outcomes help institutions forecast their future needs.

3. Attendance

View student and staff attendance record and act fast on tardiness and absence. Institutions can track and analyze attendance and leave data to measure improvements on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis to increase attendance and reduce absenteeism.    

4. Academic performance

View the academic performance of students in assignments, tests, examinations, and quizzes, then drill down to individual, group and institutional levels. The assignment and grading data indicate students’ skill levels and aptitude to succeed and the likelihood of student dropout rates.

5. Discipline tracking

Student discipline and behavior data allow schools and colleges to take effective interventions when incidents happen and work with the students to resolve them. Schools can monitor student progress in real-time for planning and follow-up actions, which can also fight student dropout rates.
