Younger students in colleges and universities say they’d like their personalized data to be leveraged toward a more beneficial, meaningful experience—right away.

"A group of higher ed professors, educational technical vendors and consultants has released findings on how to more carefully manage and utilize data mined by common systems and predictive analytics."

"You spend a good amount of resources, especially faculty and administrator time, collecting student learning data. Now, it’s time to distill it all down to meaningful information and see what changes or tweaks will improve student learning. This is where your institution runs the risk of squandering months of hard work, if not well thought out."

"Recent years have seen the growth of higher ed "success-tech," tools that provide academic monitoring to ensure quality and timely degree completion."

With predictive analytics, colleges and universities are able to “nudge” individuals toward making better decisions and exercising rational behavior to enhance their probabilities of success.

McGraw-Hill Education and ZogoTech have entered into an agreement providing McGraw-Hill Education exclusive rights to sell the data firm’s proven services.
