Civitas means community in Latin. When we join the
Civitas, we are working with hundreds of forward-thinking leaders in a dynamic
community that is transforming higher education. It helps strengthen the connections
including via annual Summit and meetings, research, expert consulting services
and The Civitas Learning Space. Civitas Learning was
conceived as a community of practice, bringing together forward-thinking
leaders from diverse higher education institutions to leverage insight and
action analytics in their ongoing efforts to help students learn well and
finish strong.
On my opinion there are several other factors that can
influence academic performance and help students to learn well and finish
strong. These other factors that are known to influence academic performance such
as student motivation, socioeconomic status, and attendance is required. Gender,
age, learning preferences, and entry qualifications did not cause any
significant variation in the academic performance of students. The ability to use analytics to look at students at an
individual level can help them develop better pathways that will help them move
through the university and reach graduation in a timely manner. But most
importantly, they are completely committed to working together with the team
for success. One of many powerful advantages to working with a Student Success
Platform is it empowers cross functional teams to take informed action, regardless
of their individual expertise with analytics.
The Platform, Insights Engine and apps provide deep and
broad institution-specific data and derived models that reflect the current and
future state of institution and students. Working with this Platform and
infrastructure, colleges and universities are dramatically improving student
success. If Student Success is a team sport, elevated advising and teaching is
what happens when the administration, advisors and faculty stop playing defense
and go on offense to help students. With Civitas Learning, “elevated advising
and teaching” means a coordinated approach, with all players sharing clear,
predictive insights specific to the institution so that the team can make the
most of every student engagement and students can own their academic journeys.
Civitas Learning is helping to shine a light on those
pathways, while strengthening the symbiotic relationship between student demand
and institution efficiency. Civitas Learning supports institutions’ efforts in
thoughtful curricular design and pathway articulation. Civitas Learning enables
institutions to know, with precision, which initiatives are working and for
whom. Equipped with the ability to measure the impact of their efforts and with
Civitas Learning, speed and accuracy go hand-in-hand.
Today’s students don’t look like the four-year, full-time
students of yesterday. One thing that remains the same however, is their desire
to earn a degree that doesn’t bury them in debt and which prepares them for a
rewarding career. Civitas Learning is empowering students to make informed
decisions about their future, create a plan for success and stick to it.
Students understand the impacts of their degree choices, find clarity in a
term-by-term course roadmap and easily balance life with their class schedule. Through
timely and relevant outreach, institutions are strengthening relationships with
students and reminding them that they are not alone on this journey.
