Thousands of students and teachers across Wales will benefit from cutting-edge data analytics technology to improve student engagement, retention and performance as a result of a funding boost to be announced today by the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) and Jisc.
Students interacting with universities often leave behind a virtual footprint that is used to gauge how well the university has managed to help and prepare these students. Learning analytics is using this data to analyze, measure, collate data, and more about the progress made by both students and educators.
