Industry Leading Data Analytics Firm Engaged to Drive Educational Improvements

GLEN ELLYN, Ill., April 15, 2021 — Further cementing itself as a proven resource for the higher education community, Datatelligent, LLC (www.datatelligent.ai) has been selected by Cowley College to work with its faculty and administrators to build a data analytics platform that will allow them to access timely, previously disconnected information — all with the goal of improving the educational experience of their nearly 4,000 students. Datatelligent has extensive experience partnering with colleges and universities to access data to navigate the Covid landscape more successfully and meet the changing and challenging needs of current and prospective students, faculty, and administrators.

Based in Arkansas City, Kansas, Cowley College is a community college spanning five campuses, and has recently moved to a more intrusive advising model that uses data to support student success.

That is where Datatelligent comes in; their team has a depth of experience and the ability to develop a customized data platform to track metrics tied to student engagement and performance with the goal of increasing retention and student satisfaction.

“Providing our students with the support they need to be successful has always been our goal, and the additional complications of COVID-19 placed a spotlight on our need to be able to quickly identify and respond to the challenges they are facing. We also recognize the increasing need for technology-based tools for our employees,” said Deborah Phelps, Executive Director of Institutional Effectiveness, Cowley College, “and this time of collaboration with Datatelligent gives us an invaluable opportunity to benefit from their expertise in data visualization design.”

Using Datatelligent’s Data Analytics as a Service (DAaaS) solution, Datatelligent staff are working with Cowley College to build a student retention dashboard. This solution will allow advisors and enrollment staff to quickly identify struggling students and reach out to ensure they stay engaged and successful. Additionally, Datatelligent is working to develop a budget forecasting dashboard, which will allow Cowley’s CFO and her team to develop “what if” scenarios related to their budget based on variations in student and government revenues.
“Teaching in the Covid environment is challenging for colleges and universities throughout the nation, especially as services to students have shifted to an online environment. But it’s also an opportunity for innovation,” said Larry Blackburn, Chief Data Transformation Officer, Datatelligent. “We are thrilled to be working with Cowley College because this project, while challenging, also allows us to make an immediate impact in the student and employee experience.”

Chicagoland Data Analytics Firm Mines Covid-19 Data to Assist in Reopening Strategy for Fall Semester and Beyond

GLEN ELLYN, Ill., July 12, 2020 — Datatelligent (www.dataintelligent.ai) and Dominican University, based in River Forest, Illinois, announced that they have been working together to use Covid-19 case information and other relevant local market data to assist university staff as they create a safe back-to-school plan for students, educators and administrators. Using Datatelligent’s data analytics as a service solution, university staff will have access to the most current, geo-coded Covid-19 information including localized hotspot data and other time-sensitive content overlaid with their student information.

Datatelligent’s platform enables Dominican staff to make data-driven decisions as they assess and evaluate educational options for prospective, incoming and returning students as well as educators and support staff. By understanding the localized impact on their students based on where they live, Dominican is creating specialized programs and communication plans to fit the needs of their students.

“We are thrilled that our solution will provide our partners at Dominican University with timely and essential information to guide their back-to-school strategy,” said Rob Wellen, Chief Growth Officer, Datatelligent. “Data-driven insights are critical components for any industry as we begin to open our doors to in-person activity, but it is essential for universities and colleges as they begin bringing students back to campus.”

Datatelligent’s data analytics solution overlays localized business data with Covid-19 case and student information, including severity/hotspot data. This allows institutions to identify issues and create specific, data-driven plans to address their unique needs; there is no one-size-fits-all recommendation due to the rapid changes in Covid-19 outbreaks and the unique demographics of a particular institution.

Beyond the immediate application of recovery analytics data for Fall 2020 planning purposes, which include Dominican’s response to housing and athletics questions, strategies for commuter versus on-campus students and staff’s work-from-home options, Datatelligent’s platform will help the university navigate issues as they relate to planning for 2021 and beyond.
