Learning Forensics Analysis

What if educators used AI-enabled forensics to analyze learning journeys and uncover hidden patterns that impacted learning? The Learning Forensics Analysis tool can unpack one student’s — or a group of students’ — learning journey(s), either for a set period or to-date. It combines broad and longitudinal student data with artifacts describing academic performance, social-emotional behaviors and interactions, learner health and wellness, and community and cultural contexts. Its AI-enabled analytics spot new connections and surface insights about progress and the reasons behind it, including motivations, instances of disruption, latent talents and more.
