Supporting an aggressive enrolment goal with an
improved range of analytics
The University of Derby is a modern, innovative education provider and since 2001 has offered online distance learning to students who require more flexible study options. Following increasing success and demand for its distance learning courses, the institution launched University of Derby Online Learning (UDOL).
The Challenge
With the success of its online business, a key ambition has been to grow its student body from around 3,000 online students in 2015 to 10,000 students by 2020. This goal created the need to have better visibility of how the business was performing and have an improved range of analytics specifically for its online business.
“Analytics will give us the visibility of data and information that we require to more effectively monitor, inform and adapt our working practices. It is going to be a new way of working for us in the future.”
Ruth Grindey, Operations, IT and Implementations Manager, University of Derby Online Learning
Following a restructure, the University of Derby formalised a strategic plan about how they wanted analytics to work, which included using Blackboard Analytics for Learn. The story discusses how learning analytics was implemented, and the immediate impacts to the business.
