Data & Predictive Analytics
Motiva embeds state-of-the-art predictive analytics capabilities into your existing technology infrastructure so that you can capitalize on available data sources to better guide and empower learners towards success.
How We Support
Build Analytics Dashboards
Organize complex predictive data into an easy-to-digest format within your existing tools. We work with you to build analytics dashboards that translate raw data and outputs into clear visualizations, giving your team and faculty real-time insight into student engagement, performance, and persistence.
Train Staff in Machine Learning
To facilitate the ongoing management of these predictive capabilities and dashboards, we can train your technical staff in machine learning methodologies. The exact approach would be crafted so as to build upon the team's baseline knowledge. Training can range from online coursework to hands-on workshops.
Develop Predictive Capabilities
Motiva leverages your institution's data--from various sources including LMS, surveys, Salesforce--to train prediction models so that your team of advisors receive up-to-date, actionable retention risk scores every day. This way, outreaches can be targeted to learners' specific needs.
Example Solutions
Increased graduation rate in West Virginia
Dr. Baker developed an algorithm for predicting K-12 student success that could infer whether a student was at risk and why, based on a range of school data. The model had much higher accuracy than competing approaches. Its statewide adoption in West Virginia preceded substantial increases in graduation rate over time.
Improved at-risk detection in online programs
Motiva developed a bespoke algorithmic model that predicted student drop-out for the online arm of a private university in the northeast. We integrated the solution into the university's systems so that the model would automatically generate a report of at-risk learners each day. Implementation helped prioritize proactive outreach efforts among advisors.
