Resolution
The Student Success Viewer service is a University of Michigan tool that helps academic advisers identify academically at-risk students using Learning Management System data (UDP).
It presents actionable intelligence to academic advisers using data about students' current term grades, activity, and assignments. By helping them identify students at risk of academic jeopardy, the tool enables advisers to create timely interventions directing students toward resources that may facilitate behavioral change and academic growth and success.
This dashboard is designed to help academic advisers identify academically at-risk students using Canvas Unizin data. The design of the SSV data mart revolves around published courses and their enrollments, with subsequent integration of students' academic information. Students maintain active status throughout their tenure at U-M, regardless of whether it spans four years, two years, or any range within their enrollment duration.
- Note: you can adjust the lower bound (the threshold for the red/yellow boundary) and the upper bound (the threshold for the yellow/green boundary) based on the main Course Section Selection tab course averages, if preferred.
- Academic Summary: copy and paste student(s) uniqname from your excel file into the Tableau uniqname filter located on the right side of the window
- Academic Assignments info: your chosen class and the student assignment details are displayed
- Academic Report: Student(s) information includes high level info and assignment details
- Course Section Selection: Search by class, section and term and it displays Courses and section info on the top section and bottom section can be filtered to see the students in each course/section.
