Step 4. Test, quantify impact and learn

Continually measuring the impact of analytics-led support will inform future interventions. OES trialed its interventions against control groups of high risk students from past or similar units with no interventions. In the trial units, 25% of students were identified as candidates for intervention. “Overall we saw a 9% uplift in pass rates and a 7% increase in progression to the next study period, compared to the high risk students who did not receive interventions.”
