This article explains the Tiers section in Jisc learning analytics, as well as additional reporting using learning analytics data.
Tiers
Tiers are hierarchical structures based on links to College(s), School(s)/Institute(s), and subject(s). These links come via SITS and as enhanced permissions based on your individual role and responsibilities at Sheffield Hallam. You might be linked to an entire College, or just a single subject area.
Within the Tiers section, you will be able to filter to show overall student summary metric for the entire College, School/Institute, subject, or course cohort. Please review additional information about how metrics are calculated.
You can filter and sort to display:
- All students or only student visa holders
- Student year
- Course year
- Days since last activity
- Summary metric
- Attendance
- Blackboard activity
- Submissions
Courses are displayed using the SITS course instance. You might want to view multiple course instances together. To do so, click ‘Show course instance(s)’. This filter will allow you to select one or more course instances, including active and inactive courses.
Reporting
Colleagues can access reporting as tableau dashboards via The Source.
- All academic staff can view the Attendance Dashboard. This dashboard displays overall attendance statistics for the university, by College, by School/Institute, and by Course. Colleagues can also filter by student visa holder and select the date range.
- Senior academic staff with enhanced permissions have access to an Admin Attendance Dashboard. This dashboard shows the same information as referred to above for the Attendance Dashboard, as well as low attendance by course, unused registers by course, and student timeline. Student timeline includes individual student attendance. You can export this data if necessary.
- Colleagues with responsibility for degree apprenticeship provision and reporting of apprentice attendance can use the Apprenticeship Attendance Report. This report displays attendance rates for DA students, as well as low attendance and individual student attendance. You can export this data is necessary.
