This study leverages data spanning from the 2012-1S to 2022-2S academic terms to semi-automatically identify a group of students consistently exhibiting academic underperformance each semester with a potential high risk of academic dropout. The methodology employed in this initiative serves as a proactive measure to identify and support students at risk, to improve the effectiveness of the intervention strategies of the tutor-teacher program, facilitating direct contact between mentors and identified students to provide personalized guidance and academic advisement. This article presents the methodology, key findings, and implications of the Consillium Academica initiative, shedding light on its potential to fortify academic support systems and contribute to the overall success and retention of undergraduate students. https://lnkd.in/eQMMEpqy

Are bursary programmes and universities unintentionally failing students? Not because they don’t care. Not because support isn’t funded. But because many systems only see risk when it’s already too late. I’ve seen millions invested in student support → and still watched students fail. One of the hardest moments I’ve witnessed happens every exam season. A bursary student comes to us for academic support. The support is approved. Then the DP list is released. And we find out the student didn’t qualify for the exam. Not because support wasn’t provided. But because the warning signs showed up months earlier → and no one had clear visibility into them early enough to act. By that point, the bursary has already spent money on fees and last-minute support. But the student has already failed the course (or two). Here’s why… Academic struggles throughout the year compound quietly. Mental health dips go unnoticed. And in worst cases, students are excluded from bursary programmes altogether the following year → money wasted, potential wasted. That’s when it became clear to me: This isn’t a lack-of-support problem. It’s a coordination problem. Bursary programmes fund academic support. Universities provide wellness services. Support teams genuinely care about student success. But academic performance lives in one place. Wellness data sits in another. Interventions happen across multiple partners. And very few people ever see the full picture of a student in real time. Who is quietly falling behind? Which students are showing early risk signals? What support has already been delivered? And most importantly → is it actually working? That insight fundamentally reshaped what we’re building at Genius UP. At its core, the platform isn’t about replacing tutoring or wellness support. It’s about sitting above those interventions → at the system level. We’re building infrastructure that helps bursary programmes and universities: • Track academic performance continuously • Surface early risk signals before crisis hits • Coordinate academic and wellness support across partners • Turn fragmented support activity into clear, actionable insight and reporting In other words, moving from reacting to problems → to detecting risk early → acting intentionally → and measuring whether interventions actually made a difference. The screenshot attached is a glimpse into a platform we’ve been actively building and testing at Genius UP. Systems designed to help student support teams see risk earlier, coordinate better, and support students more effectively. Designed to give a single view across students, support activities, and outcomes. If you work in bursary programme management, student success, or higher-education operations, I’d love to hear how you’re thinking about early risk and coordination. If not, a repost or tag of someone who should be part of this conversation would really help. ✅ Drop a comment → I’d love to hear your thoughts!

The presentation by Jessina McGregor, PhD, explains how Interrupted Time Series (ITS) is a robust quasi-experimental design widely used to evaluate the effect of interventions, especially when randomized controlled trials aren’t feasible. ITS analyzes outcome data collected at multiple, evenly spaced time points before and after an intervention to assess whether the intervention caused a change. It can detect both immediate effects (as a sudden shift in the outcome level) and gradual effects (as a change in the trend over time). ITS belongs to the broader field of causal inference because it aims to answer: Did the intervention cause a change in the outcome? While ITS can’t guarantee the same level of causal certainty as randomization, its strength comes from its structured design: using many observations over time, ruling out pre-existing trends, and sometimes including control groups, staggered rollouts, or intervention removal to strengthen causal claims. Statistical analysis of ITS often uses segmented regression or ARIMA models, which properly account for autocorrelation (the fact that observations over time are related). Careful planning is critical: defining the intervention clearly, selecting measurable outcomes, collecting long enough baseline and follow-up periods, and adjusting for other events like policy changes or seasonal effects. Overall, ITS is an essential tool in causal inference, particularly valuable for evaluating large-scale or system-level interventions in fields like antimicrobial stewardship, where randomized trials are often impractical.

What's the real story behind a 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭'𝐬 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬? It's more than just study hours. I developed this "𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬" dashboard in Power BI to move beyond assumptions and uncover the data-driven truths behind academic achievement. 𝘼𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙨 & 𝙆𝙚𝙮 𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨: By analyzing a multifaceted dataset, I was able to visualize the relationships between academic performance and various factors like parental education, school type, teacher quality, and extracurricular involvement. A few key results emerged: 🔹 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: There's a clear positive correlation between a parent's educational level and a student's exam scores. 🔹 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐓𝐲𝐩𝐞: The data shows a noticeable difference in the average hours studied between students in private vs. public schools. 🔹 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬: Using Power BI's AI-driven visual, I identified the top 5 statistical segments of students who are most likely to achieve high exam scores. 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: This isn't just data; it's a roadmap for action. An educational institution could use these insights to: 1️⃣ Develop Targeted Support: Create tailored programs for students from lower parental education backgrounds to bridge the gap. 2️⃣ Optimize Resources: Allocate tutoring sessions and resources more effectively based on the factors that most heavily influence success. 3️⃣ Personalize Interventions: Use the key segment analysis to proactively support students who fit at-risk profiles before their grades suffer. This project highlights how data analytics can transform raw numbers into a clear strategy for driving better outcomes. #DataAnalytics #PowerBI #BusinessIntelligence #DataVisualization #EdTech #StudentSuccess #DataStorytelling #ActionableInsights #DataAnalyst

Deep Learning to Predict & Prevent University Dropouts: The Future of AI in Education  Student dropouts remain a critical challenge for universities worldwide. But what if we could predict failures before they happen and provide timely interventions? Deep Learning (DL) is revolutionizing higher education by identifying at-risk students early and enabling personalized learning experiences. Here’s how the future looks: Early Warning Systems – AI-driven models analyze academic performance, attendance, and engagement to detect students at risk of failing or dropping out. Personalized Learning Paths – Adaptive AI recommends customized coursework and study strategies tailored to each student's needs. Multimodal Data Integration – Combining academic records, behavioral signals, and even sentiment analysis from student interactions to get a 360-degree risk assessment. AI-Powered Chatbots & Mentors – Virtual assistants offer real-time academic and emotional support, keeping students engaged and motivated. Predictive Analytics for Universities – Institutions use AI-driven insights to optimize curriculum, faculty engagement, and student services, leading to higher retention rates. The Future? AI will not replace educators but will empower them with data-driven insights to provide proactive, targeted interventions. Universities that integrate deep learning with strong human-led strategies will redefine student success. What are your thoughts? Could AI be the key to reducing dropout rates and improving student outcomes? Let’s discuss! #AIinEducation #DeepLearning #StudentSuccess #HigherEd #PredictiveAnalytics #FutureOfEducation Glad to publish a paper titled "Enhancing Student Outcomes with LSTM-CNN and Data Analytics in Higher Education" during International Conference on Intelligent and Innovative Practices in Engineering & Management (IIPEM 2024) at Amity Global Institute,Singapore Shiv Nadar University With a focus on the use of Long Short-TermbMemory (LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) approaches to predict students' academic performance, the study highlights the possible advantages of implementing cutting-edge technology innovations like analytics and data mining in learning environments. Future research has exciting opportunities as the educational landscape changes, including the possibility of applying transfer learning models and the possibility of using lightweight models with extensive features for identifying students' learning results.

What if I told you that hidden within 145 student records lies the roadmap to transforming academic outcomes? That's exactly what we at VIZINTEL discovered while building this Power BI dashboard analyzing student performance at Yakın Doğu Üniversitesi - Near East University The numbers told a story that many universities face but few quantify effectively. While diving deep into cumulative GPAs, attendance patterns, study habits, and lifestyle factors, we uncovered something striking: a significant portion of students were trapped in the "Conditional Pass" category, sitting right at the edge of minimum requirements. These weren't failing students, they were students on the brink of breakthrough who just needed the right support at the right time. The dashboard 👉 https://lnkd.in/eKBDyQrm 👈 revealed powerful correlations that changed how we think about student intervention. *Students balancing additional work alongside studies showed clear academic strain. *Those with consistent attendance and structured study routines outperformed their peers predictably. *Most eye-opening was how minimal engagement in extracurricular activities correlated with reduced time management skills, creating a ripple effect on academic performance. But here's what makes me most excited about this project: it's not just about identifying problems, it's about creating actionable pathways to solutions. By visualizing these patterns through this interactive Power BI dashboards, academic advisors can now identify at-risk students early, target mentorship programs more effectively, and measure intervention success in real-time. *The data doesn't just highlight who needs help, it shows exactly what kind of help they need. This project reinforced my belief that the most impactful analytics work happens when we combine technical skills with genuine care for the people behind the numbers. Every data point represents a student's journey, and every insight creates an opportunity to change an academic trajectory.

AI: A Clearer Path to Early Intervention and Student Success The U.S. Department of Education’s recent guidance on the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) is a welcome and timely signal to the education community: Innovation and equity must go hand in hand. At Navigate360, we share this vision—where AI is used not to replace people, but to empower them. Where data isn't used to label students, but to lift them. For too long, the fragmented nature of school safety, wellness, and behavioral systems has hindered our ability to act early, connect the dots, and intervene before concerns escalate. That’s why Navigate360 has invested in building a unified platform that gives schools and districts comprehensive visibility into early concerning behaviors and other key risk indicators. By responsibly integrating AI into our NavigateOne platform, we help educators: 1. Identify students in need of additional support through predictive analytics that consider academic patterns, behavior trends, attendance, and other risk signals. 2. Connect siloed data points like changes in peer relationships, online activity patterns, or escalating behaviors into a clearer picture of a student’s needs. 3. Equip school staff with alerts, insights, and tools that support timely, compassionate, and effective intervention—without increasing administrative burden. This is not about surveillance. It’s about situational awareness. It’s not about punishment. It’s about prevention and support. The Department’s affirmation that AI-powered tools are allowable under federal formula and discretionary grant programs opens a door for school leaders to pursue solutions that align with their mission to educate and protect every student. It’s also a reminder that any AI initiative must be rooted in transparency, equity, and educator empowerment. We applaud this leadership and are committed to helping schools navigate the path forward—ethically, responsibly, and with the clear goal of ensuring every learner feels safe, seen, and supported. Let’s continue to lead with empathy, act with urgency, and use the best of technology to elevate the best in people. #AI #SchoolSafety #ZeroIncidents #PreventionFirst
