Higher education faces challenges in addressing economic and readiness problems for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. While free educational content helps, it does not solve complex readiness issues. For-profit models also struggle with serving students in remote, underserved areas. Analytics and technologies show promise in helping institutions address these "last mile" challenges through personalized, adaptive learning approaches. However, significant organizational changes and integration of disparate data sources will be required for institutions to fully leverage these tools. Open discussion is needed around ensuring insights into learning and student success remain available as public goods, not proprietary to any private vendor.
