Higher education provides students with incredible flexibility in how they learn, but this very flexibility can make it challenging to identify and support students who may need help along their learning journey. To truly support students and ensure their well-being, we need a holistic approach. This means not only tracking attendance across various scheduled and unscheduled activities but also gathering crucial engagement data from sources like library usage, virtual learning platforms, teams meeting and ongoing work submissions. By doing this, we can create a comprehensive support system that addresses the individual needs of every student.
Students are the core of our engagement strategy. Presto is designed to prioritise each student's unique journey, using our flexible model to meticulously monitor attendance and engagement down to the smallest detail.
Presto integrates all critical points of contact with the institution, creating a comprehensive and individualised picture with the student and their engagement at the centre.
As has been mentioned previously, Presto places the individual student at the heart of the engagement process. Presto’s flexible model allows us to effectively monitor engagement at a granular level, ensuring a comprehensive view of each student's interaction with the institution.
Presto provides accurate and flexible analytics based on any information held within the system and if you want to other system with which it is connected. Alongside our extensive range of standard reports, we can offer tailored reports to support your ongoing and future analytics needs. We can integrate Presto's data with your institution's data warehousing, reporting, and dashboard solutions, facilitating vital policy, process, and strategy development in areas such as curriculum development, estate utilisation, and timetabling.
Identifying and assessing student engagement requires aggregating a wide range of information to correctly identify students needing additional support or those on track. PrestoFlow, as mentioned in previously reflects your institution's engagement rules. Engagement thresholds and triggers are influenced by various factors, including attendance, achievement, and accessing services such as your LMS, library resources, placements, and field trips.
Institutions can set high-level thresholds based on specific programme or department criteria. For instance, engagement analysis may reveal that arts students attend fewer activities but have higher achievement thresholds compared to Business and Law students. PrestoFlow’s granular approach ensures that false positives are minimised, allowing your support resources to focus on genuinely identified cases. This reduction is crucial for optimising internal support efforts.
PrestoFlow allows you to define thresholds and engagements, automating much of the process while keeping you in control. It can be configured to identify at-risk students and engage defined resources to support them. The user-defined dashboard presents information on a student's action stage, with the capability to drill down into details and take necessary actions.
In conclusion, Presto's robust and flexible analytics capabilities, combined with the detailed workflow management of PrestoFlow, provide a powerful solution for enhancing student engagement and support within your institution.
