Extended Abstract: 

With the advent of data availability, institutions must rethink the structure and accessibility of information. This understanding prompted Belhaven University to assess the landscape of student data leading to the realization that several data points could be brought together to enhance service to students. Belhaven harnessed data available in Canvas, Arc, Tutor.com, Grammarly, and Colleague to create a user-friendly dashboard.  The dashboard allows Student Services personnel to troubleshoot possible areas of a student’s struggle as well as identify ways to support the student in getting back on track.

During this session participants will:   

  • discuss what it means to be an engaged student.

  • reflect on the need to understand data.

  • have the opportunity to interact with the presentation through polling.

  • gain insight into potential data sources that may be overlooked in their institution.

  • walk away with an understanding of how data can be leveraged to support student success.
