DATA EXTRACT: SP20-FA20 Targeted Advising with Canvas Data Study

Abstract

Currently at IUPUI, advising staff make periodic contact with students who are at risk for dropping out of college. At present, identification of at-risk students is inferred from student demographics, past performance, high school performance, and from flags raised by their teachers in Indiana University’s “Student Engagement Roster.” However, these measures do not reveal more timely indicators of student difficulties in their course work. Thus, the current study aims to evaluate whether the targeting of at-risk students could be augmented by including near-real-time measures of students’ behaviors in their course sites administrated via Canvas.
