Data in higher education has become increasingly important, a shift driven in part by regulatory oversight.
But data also has an essential role to play as institutions seek to better understand their performance and the experience of students. Institutions have begun to not only utilise learning analytics to draw the correlation between engagement and outcomes but deepen the analysis of how they support students and what works, allowing providers to evidence the relationship between students and their experience.
As the use of analytics becomes more sophisticated, institutions are able to better target their support and interventions and evaluate where they can make the biggest difference to better support students.
