In the coming years, engagement analytics will play a role in every meaningful digital transformational project across our institutions. Professor Neil Morris explains the crucial steps, before and after the tech implementation.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Many organisations are tackling their data strategy as part of their digital transformation approach, and often find this to be a significant challenge, due to the complexity, architecture and interconnectedness of their systems and processes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The complexity continues with the need to deliver against levelling up, participation agendas, and quality and outcome initiatives which require universities to be connected across all functions; where academics are common with professional staff, where instructional designers are in tune with IT systems delivery, and where decision making is supported through just in time insights<\/span><\/p>\n

Data at the heart of digital transformation<\/h3>\n

Data is at the heart of effective digital transformation, and for most universities collating data isn\u2019t the issue. It is the ability to visualise that data in any meaningful way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Data, and specifically, engagement data, offers this common language with relevance with the student and throughout the university eco-system, where \u2018engagement\u2019 reflects both the metrics of success and the means to mobilise against an issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the coming years, engagement analytics will play a role in every meaningful digital transformational project across our institutions, whether in support of student outreach initiatives in aiding in progression and wellbeing, in understanding how successful students participate at module, programme and school, or in helping teams in gaining the insights to drive operational plans and inform research.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are already seeing a number of universities utilising student engagement tools, such as <\/span>Solutionpath<\/span><\/a>\u2019s StREAM, which enable institutions to have a centralised dashboard to keep a record of every student\u2019s engagement, performance, and progress. This kind of technology is integral to a successful engagement analytics strategy, but what are the crucial steps, before and after the tech implementation? Here are what I believe to be the key elements needed for success:<\/span><\/p>\n
