Taking Student Analytics to the Next Level
Session Number: 30726
Track: Reporting and Business Intelligence
Sub-Categorization: DW/BI System-Planning
Session Type: Vendor
Tags: Analytics, Data Warehouse, Reporting, student data
Primary Presenter: Steve Grantham [Senior Software Engineer - Blackboard Analytics]
Time: Mar 21, 2012 (10:30 AM - 11:30 AM)
Room: Hermitage A
Learning Objectives from Session: Attendees should leave this session with a deeper understanding of the features and capabilities of Blackboard Analytics’ data warehouse product for Campus Solutions data, and how those capabilities can be used to meet standardized, ad hoc and analytic reporting needs. They should gain a greater appreciation of the advantages of incorporating complex logical transformations into the fundamental structures of a data warehouse, as opposed to having to embed that logic repeatedly into multiple reports, as is required when reporting directly from transactional systems, operational data stores, or other less sophisticated structures.

Description: The Blackboard Analytics (formerly iStrategy) suite of data warehouse products (student, finance, human resources, financial aid and advancement) has been available for several years and is being used at an increasing number of HEUG member institutions. Our earlier, introductory presentation, "Blackboard Analytics: Self-Service Access to Actionable Information", gives an overview of the products, their underlying architecture, and how they work. This presentation will follow up on that introduction by focusing on some of the more advanced (and very cool) features of the student product that allow users to take the analysis of student data to the next level of depth and sophistication. Some of these features are already in the current version of the product, while others are in development.
