SSA CG Goals

The EDUCAUSE Student Success Analytics Community Group (SSA CG) was created as a forum for people from educational institutions, organizations, and providers serving them who are actively planning or implementing analytics initiative aimed at improving student success.

Goals include:

• • Create a network of practitioners to share stories and results so that we can benefit from each others’ experiences.

    • The focus of this CG is on initiatives and findings that have broad applicability and promise to scale.

  • Highlight initiatives that can transform education through aggregation, analysis, and application of data in educational environments.

    • We expect to highlight diverse analytic approaches such as: predictive and prescriptive modeling in addition to machine learning, artificial intelligence and other applications of data analysis.

  • Focus on student success at some point in the student’s higher ed lifecycle (teaching & learning, enrollment, program retention, academic advising, career placement, or student support). While analytics approaches to research, institutional success, or other non-student areas are beneficial, this group is focused on areas that more directly improve the learning experience of students in education.
