Jisc launch updated learning analytics at Data Matters
New Jisc platform harnesses university data to boost student success.
Jisc’s new learning analytics platform was unveiled today at the Data Matters conference to data professionals from across higher education.
The not-for-profit education tech firm has been a pioneer in developing data analytics to help universities support their students. The new platform results from years of feedback from a wide community of users committed to improving student wellbeing and retention.
Universities and students face tough financial decisions, where dropping out affects both institutional and student futures. Jisc’s learning analytics platform is designed for institutions to help students stay the course and achieve their goals.
Jisc’s take on learning analytics provides not only a cost-effective solution but benefits from Jisc’s unique place at the centre of the higher and further education communities. As the sectors’ vital partner in technology and data, Jisc provides the space for data professionals to share best practice. This has led to a learning analytics solution that incorporates data protection and ethical considerations by design.
The platform is being launched today at the Data Matters conference, which brings together the community of data professionals in higher and further education. Successful learning analytics requires good data maturity and the conference showcases the range of services in the governance, management, and use of data that are available to Jisc members, including Jisc’s new data maturity framework.
Future updates to Jisc learning analytics will be steered by the sector’s needs, including a focus on student wellbeing. For more information see learning analytics on the Jisc website.
