Abstract

In 2015 EDUCAUSE refreshed the findings of the 2012 ECAR analytics study to understand the nature, magnitude, and future directions of analytics in higher education and provide guidance to institutions enhancing or developing analytics programs.

  • What are the strongest motivators of investments in institutional or learning analytics?
  • How advanced is higher education in its use of data to inform decisions, and how does that compare with other industries?
  • Which staffing roles and levels do analytics programs have today, and actually need?
  • What are the greatest concerns about the use of data in analytics?
