Learning analytics

Group of students studying on laptops

Enhance your students’ experience and get the insights to make data-led interventions that improve retention, outcomes, and wellbeing.

The learning analytics core service pulls together data from your institution’s various student systems, processes it via our high-performance infrastructure and translates it into an intuitive user-interface. This helps you to prioritise those students who require support.

Since Jan 2024 we’ve been enhancing the tools for UK universities to improve student engagement and the upgraded learning analytics platform is faster, more efficient, and easier to use.

We first launched the suite of co-created learning analytics solutions in 2015, developed with the HE sector for the HE sector.

What can learning analytics do for you?

  • Value: combine learning analytics, attendance monitoring and simple case management we've created an efficient and affordable platform
  • Efficiency: All the key student information in one place
  • Co-design and community: when you join learning analytics, you become part of a thriving learning analytics community to share best practice, collaborate and truly affect the future development of the product
