In 2011, after being identified by the state for de-funding, Odessa College started using data to transform the way they made decisions. They worked with ZogoTech to use data as a foundation for decision-making. Based on data he uncovered working with ZogoTech, Dr. Wood created the Drop Rate Improvement Program, which they used to double their graduation rate and eliminate equity gaps based on race, gender, and income despite no programs specifically focusing on equity.

Southwest Texas Junior College
In 5 years, SWTJC went from accreditation probation to being named one of the top 10 colleges in the country. The College accomplished this remarkable turnaround by deliberately moving from a culture of “best guess” to one based on evidence. They used “big data” analytics to identify large institution-wide changes and “small data” analytics to identify small cohorts of students for whom a specific, personalized intervention could make a real difference.

Collin College
Collin College has used ZogoTech Analytics to grow enrollment, identify completers, and get data out to administrators and instructional deans. ZogoTech’s Pathways Analytics module essentially runs every degree plan against every student, which helped Collin College identify over 400 awards that their degree audit system did not.
They also identified a number of students who were one course away from completing a credential but then mysteriously disappeared. By drilling into the data, they found that the college was only offering that course on the weekend. They have also used ZogoTech to predict how many students they might have at a new campus. In addition, Collin College has grown their enrollment by drilling down and predicting how many sections to offer at each time of day.
