NTU’s Student Engagement team have been recognised for their use of technology in helping students succeed in their studies through their adoption of Solutionpath’s StREAM, a Digital Engagement Learner Analytics platform, which powers NTU’s Student Dashboard.

The NTU Student Engagement team, led by Ed Foster, have developed the Student Dashboard with technology provider, Solutionpath, embracing the views of staff and students to create a platform that can help every student realise their full potential and inform NTU in how to deliver great individualised learning.

Their use of StREAM was recently highlighted as a best practice case study in the Department of Education’s executive paper “Realising the potential of technology in education: A strategy for education providers and the technology industry”.
“There is no doubt that NTU’s award-winning Student Dashboard is changing the learning and teaching landscape. Our focus on engagement, not demographics or risk of failure, and the sharing of data between students and staff has created a positive, nuanced application of technology to support learning.”
