Abstract

In this paper we identify strategies, informed by learning analytics, which lecturers can adopt at the subject level to ensure students have the best possible opportunity to successfully complete their studies. This approach also has the potential to enhance outcomes for the institution through increased student satisfaction and decreased attrition. Our aim is to identify key points in the teaching period for interventions that will have the most impact on student outcomes and describe appropriate interventions. We focus on one particular subject as a case study, however, our findings are likely to be generalisable across a range of subjects and disciplines.
