Steven Lonn, Stephen Aguilar, Stephanie D Teasley This paper describes an intra-institutional partnership between a research team and a technology service group that was established to facilitate the scaling up of a learning analytics intervention. Our discussion focuses on the benefits and challenges that arose from this partnership in order to provide useful information for similar partnerships developed to support scaling up learning analytics interventions.

4. Goal: Help “at risk”
engineering students
succeed
Problem: Advisors can’t
help until it’s “too late”
Solution: Early warning
system for advisors
