“Historically, humanity has made sense of the world
through discourse, dialogue, artifacts, myth, story,
and metaphor. While those sensemaking approaches
won’t disappear, they will be augmented by data and
analytics.”
Siemens, 2014 www.elearnspace.org/blog

Many colleges and universities have demonstrated
that analytics can help significantly advance an
institution in such strategic areas as resource
allocation, student success, and finance
