Empowering Learning Analytics with Business Intelligence

Business Intelligence (BI) tools can provide benefits to various stakeholders in Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and support the academic process. We use BI tools to visualize data produced from learning analytics systems at the University of Petra (UOP). The utilized data come from two different sources: a learning outcomes calculation system and a student registration system. In this work, we visualize the data as dashboards using power BI to help students and advisors to monitor the progress of student attainment of program outcomes over the courses and years of study, thus facilitating the prediction of student performance. We also visualize the attainment of program outcomes in relation to student attributes, which facilitate data- driven decision making. The future work of this work is to collect data for a full cohort, to be used for prediction of student performance.
