3 Ways Salesforce Can Identify At-risk Students
Prevent academic disasters with Salesforce predictive analytics. Keep students on track, identify at-risk behaviors, & provide intervention.
Imagine being able to spot student struggles before they turn into full-blown academic disasters—like catching the Wi-Fi signal before it drops during a Netflix marathon. With Salesforce, educational institutions don’t need a crystal ball; they have predictive analytics and data insights to wave the red flag on at-risk students before things go sideways. Here’s how Salesforce helps keep students from going off the rails:
Early Warning Alerts
Salesforce leverages predictive analytics to analyze historical data, such as grades, attendance, participation, and engagement metrics, to identify patterns that may indicate a student is at risk of academic failure or disengagement. The system can automatically generate early warning alerts when certain risk factors are detected, prompting advisors or faculty to intervene before issues escalate.
Behavioral and Engagement Tracking
Salesforce tracks student behavior and engagement across various touchpoints, such as LMS activity, class participation, and interactions with academic resources. By analyzing this data, Salesforce can provide insights into which students are showing signs of disengagement, such as decreased logins or missed assignments. These insights help institutions identify students who may need additional support to stay on track.
Customizable Risk Models
Institutions can build and customize risk models within Salesforce that weigh multiple factors—such as socio-economic background, course load, and extracurricular involvement—to predict which students are most likely to struggle. These models can be continuously refined with new data inputs, allowing for more accurate predictions and targeted interventions that are tailored to the specific needs of the student population.
