Solution : Created a Dashboard for Tracking Student Performance and Engagement Metrics

Overview

A University Academic Affairs department collaborated with FracsNet to develop a learning analytics dashboard that tracks student performance and engagement metrics. The solution aimed to improve the university's ability to monitor student progress, identify at-risk students, and enhance academic advising processes.

The Challenge

The university faced several challenges related to student performance and academic support –

  • Difficulty Identifying At-Risk Students : The lack of real-time insights made it challenging to identify students who were struggling academically or disengaged.
  • Inefficient Academic Advising : Academic advisors lacked sufficient data to provide personalized guidance, often relying on reactive rather than proactive support.
  • Limited Access to Performance Metrics : Faculty and staff had limited access to comprehensive student performance data, which hindered timely interventions.
  • Lack of Data-Driven Decision Making : The university's academic decisions were often based on anecdotal evidence, without a centralized platform for tracking and analyzing student progress.
The Solution

FracsNet created a learning analytics dashboard that provided a comprehensive, real-time view of student performance and engagement. The solution included –

  • Real-Time Performance Tracking : The dashboard tracked key performance indicators (KPIs) such as grades, attendance, participation, and assignment completion rates, providing a clear picture of student progress.
  • At-Risk Student Identification : Using data analytics, the system flagged students who were at risk of falling behind, allowing academic advisors to intervene early.
  • Engagement Metrics : The dashboard also tracked student engagement metrics, such as forum participation, resource usage, and interaction with course materials, helping to identify disengaged students.
  • Customizable Reports : The platform offered customizable reports, enabling faculty and academic affairs staff to focus on specific student cohorts or performance trends.
  • Data-Driven Advising : The system provided academic advisors with actionable insights, allowing them to offer more personalized and effective guidance to students.
The Result

The implementation of the learning analytics dashboard led to significant improvements in the university's academic support processes –

  • Enhanced Ability to Identify At-Risk Students Early : The dashboard allowed the university to proactively identify students who were struggling academically or disengaged, enabling timely interventions.
  • Improved Academic Advising Processes : Advisors were equipped with real-time data, improving the quality of academic support and allowing for more personalized advice.
  • Increased Student Retention : Early identification of at-risk students and targeted interventions led to higher retention rates.
  • Better Decision-Making : Data-driven insights allowed the university to make more informed decisions about curriculum design, student support services, and resource allocation.
  • Improved Student Outcomes : By addressing academic issues early, the university saw improvements in overall student performance and satisfaction.

"FracsNet’s dashboard has empowered us to make data-driven decisions. We’re now able to identify at-risk students early and provide them with the support they need to succeed."
