About Student Success System

The Student Success System uses analytical insights to make predictions about student success and risk levels in your courses. The predictive analysis used by the Student Success System is adaptable to the instructional approach of each course, allowing you to monitor student engagement and achievement expectations for your courses. With the Student Success System, you can use the predictive models to monitor and design targeted interventions for at-risk students in active courses to improve student success, retention, completion, and graduation rates.

How it works

  1. Administrators add target courses to the system to generate predictions of student success, using historical courses for comparison. (Historical courses are prior offerings of the target courses that are representative of the courses in terms of teaching and learning expectations.)

    Note  Administrators create and configure predictive models for target courses in the administrative Student Success System interface.

  2. Instructors use the Student Success System to monitor predictions of student success levels for active and enabled courses on a weekly basis in five possible domains: course access, content access, social learning, grades, and preparedness. The weekly predictions produce a Success Index for every student in the course, letting you visualize and compare potential success rates for your students.

All students in the course display in a list on a class dashboard. Click on a student's name to navigate to their student dashboard, which displays data on their performance in the course. A win-loss chart provides an at-a-glance visualization of the student's performance in comparison to the rest of the class in all of the pre-selected domains, while detailed and interactive visualizations are available for the Success Index, Social Learning domain, and Grades domain.
