Strategic ICT for Managing Student Engagement (SIM

Student Engagement System

On Friday 20th April the revised Student Engagement System was presented to the Monthly Head of Department meeting.  There was a live demonstration of the fully functioning system and an explanation of how the system worked, how it was being used and future a related projects.  It was explained that the original concept of the system remained the same as back in 2009 and all the technical issues had been resolved.  The positive influence on the system of the JISC BI project was discussed and it was explained that a second section "Dev Tab" of the system was available to all users and they had been tasked with evaluating enhancements that had come about because of the project.

Concept: A system to automatically identify students who are starting to disengage but not impose any extra administration by using data that is already being stored in University systems and then analysing what has happened in the last few days, while recognising the patterns will vary from course to course
