The MCMS project aims to (1) detect patterns in institutional data that indicate student retention issues, (2) develop an approach for real-time student support and intervention to address retention, and (3) provide high-quality information to support institutional decision making. The process involves using data mining to analyze student data and identify relationships between performance and factors like year of study, library usage, and nationality. Interventions are then developed based on the findings, such as emails, reports, and feedback to students and faculty. Additionally, an Intelligent Decision Support SIG is being formed to address issues around decision support technologies, data integration and sharing, and engaging stakeholders to develop a roadmap for the sector.
