Key Takeaway: The new Predictive Learner Insights capability helps institutions move from reactive reporting to proactive student support, starting with early identification of learners at risk of dropping out.
Ask Your Data uses AI, predictive algorithms, and historical data to generate forward-looking insights. These predictions can be delivered as easy-to-understand charts or tables, helping users move beyond reporting on what has already happened to anticipating what may happen next.
The initial release focuses on predicting learner dropout risk. Additional predictive use cases will be developed based on customer feedback and institutional needs. The AI automatically identifies the variables most likely to influence future outcomes, detects meaningful patterns in the data, and applies natural language processing and statistical models to visualize the most probable future results.
Predictive Insights complements Student in Need of Attention by adding data-driven forecasts to existing student success workflows.
Together, these capabilities give users more ways to identify early warning signs, plan timely interventions, and support student success across the institution.
