Early Warning Student Risk Dashboard
The Early Warning Risk Dashboard is a filterable dashboard that assists in identifying at-risk students at a program, course and individual level.
Availability: upon request for all courses & programs
Best used: during the teaching period
Produced in Microsoft PowerBI, the dashboard identifies students potentially at risk by considering numerous risk factors. The dashboard is currently being piloted on the University’s Microsoft PowerBI enterprise server. Please contact the Learning Analytics team to request access.
