The document discusses using learning analytics and data from apprenticeships to improve the apprentice experience. It describes an initiative to collect and analyze data from all aspects of the apprenticeship journey to enhance and improve the journey. The initiative is developing a learning analytics service including a learning data hub to gather this apprenticeship data and provide analytics dashboards for employers.

15. Products and dashboards
» Data Explorer: Learning Analytics dashboards for staff, role appropriate views
» Study Goal: An app for students - allowing them to view their learning analytics
data, and set measurable actions to support their success.
» Learning Analytics Predictor: A predictive model designed to do one thing well -
predict success at course level. Output can be viewed in Data Explorer.
» Traffic Lights Calculator: A straightforward rules based engine, allowing RAG
status to be calculated for online activity, attendance and achievement, at module
level. Output fromTLC can viewed in Data Explorer.
» Learning Data Hub: the core of Jisc's learning analytics service, holds data about
students, works in conjunction with an institutions data warehouse (where
present), to share data between applications in a standard way, a collection point
for semi-structured learning data such as student activity.
» Apprenticeship Dashboard: “Data Explorer for Employers” – see apprentices
progress, attendance, attainment, etc., in a common view for multiple providers (In
development)
