“Academic analytics combines select institutional
data, statistical analysis, and predictive modelling to create intelligence upon which students,
instructors, or administrators can change academic
behaviour”
“Why so much collection—but so little utilization—of data? Most institutions have routinized data collection, but they have
little experience in reviewing and making
sense of data.”
Inform the community and raise awareness of available tools,
their strengths and limitations.
Encourage the use of effective practise in
conjunction with
educational technology
