Speaker: Rhodora Reyes Abadia – Associate Dean(Online), Learning Insights Lead, Adelaide University
Description
This session explores how a new university is using the unique opportunity of merging two established institutions to build learning analytics systems from scratch. Learn how the Learning Insights Project integrates diverse data sources to create personalised learning pathways, enrich stakeholder experience, and enable timely interventions. Discover how cross-disciplinary collaboration between tech team, data analysts, educators, support staff, and students is creating a blueprint for data-driven educational transformation that enhances both academic excellence and student well-being through actionable insights.
Key takeaways:
• Merging two university data ecosystems created a rare chance to build a learning analytics from scratch rather than retrofitting existing systems, allowing for forward-thinking architecture tailored to combined educational needs.
• Bringing together diverse stakeholders, data analysts, educators, support staff, and students, proved essential for developing comprehensive data-driven solutions that serve the entire educational ecosystem rather than isolated departmental needs.
• Focusing on both academic excellence and student wellbeing ensures technological innovation delivers actionable insights that support holistic development, transforming data into tools that help stakeholders succeed in their roles
