NATIONAL UNIVERSITY qualify as attendance for the student – the university is able to track their progress and match this with outcomes to better support the student .
“ We ’ ve created a number of early warning devices within the LMS – like a button that a faculty member can press to say they ’ re concerned about a student and suddenly we can focus some attention towards them . So when we talk about digital transformation , that ’ s really the core of some of the things that we ’ re doing that directly relate to the student .”
Transformation at the core of NU National University ’ s move to Brightspace also changed the way students study , allowing a conversion from hardbound books to digital resources within three months . A monumental feat , the shift allowed students to be set up and ready to learn successfully ahead of the commencement of class .
“ We are in the middle of a data explosion where we have figured out that there ’ s gold in those hills , so to speak ”
