HE Student Support Champion Update: Edward Peck and Jisc

31st January 2023

A core data specification for student analytics: Edward Peck, Higher Education Student Support Champion and Jisc

These two-page briefings, written by Edward Peck, follow on from the session given at CUC Winter Plenary 2022, and are produced to support Governing Bodies and Executive Teams in discussion of key issues that will enhance student support.

Student analytics would benefit from being higher up the agenda of HE leaders. While Higher Education Providers (HEPs) typically hold the data needed as per this specification, they may be siloed rather than integrated, impeding systematic approaches to support students most at risk of non-continuation or poor wellbeing.

There is potential for HEPs to be held to account for not having such systems in place. This can be tackled now.
