Abstract

The University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) has developed a Student Success Advising strategy that uses learning analytics to identify students who could benefit from support via proactive outreach. This paper describes the analysis and development of course Learning Management System (LMS) thresholds that measure the impact of student LMS activity on success. The establishment of these thresholds accurately identifies students at risk of failure and facilitates proactive outreach. These findings support targeted, data-informed interventions to improve student engagement, retention, and success
