ObjectivesThe purpose of the day will be to:• Prioritise the user stories for FE. We currently implement

learning analytics models to predict students at risk of failing or not achieving their potential. We’d like to know what else you are interested in and agree a prioritised list we can start to explore

• Identify and prioritise the data sources and systems we will need to integrate to undertake the analytics user stories. We are currently focusing on the student information, VLE data, attendance data and library information. However we’d like to know what systems you are using that need to be integrated e.g. BKSB and prioritise the work required

• Establish a reference group
