How do you know when and how to communicate with your students?

Student Engagement enables users at all levels to act independently, create and run their own reports, do their own analysis, act on that analysis, and assess the results in order to really move the needle on student success.

Many colleges struggle to efficiently track their students from application to completion.

Colleges often face challenges in effectively monitoring student progress from their initial application through to completion. This is due to several systemic inefficiencies and obstacles.

Ad Hoc Reporting Burdens IR

Typical early alert systems rely on faculty to raise flags for at-risk students. Although useful, this puts a burden on faculty and the data is skewed as some faculty raise many flags and others simply don’t have the time.

Limited Data Trending or Analysis

It is exceedingly difficult to access trend data, especially point-in-time data, and this challenge becomes even more pronounced when attempting real-time data analysis.

Student Data Spread Out

Data needed to help a student succeed is spread across multiple systems across dozens of screens, making it extremely difficult to have effective and efficient interactions between staff and students.

Data Cannot Be Trusted

Data definitions are inconsistent, reports are created from scratch, data is pulled from multiple systems, and KPIs are manually calculated - all increasing the likelihood of bad data.

“Due to the volume of students we have, it’s crucial that we are able to easily track student contacts with a tool like ZogoTech. Because ZogoTech includes all the types of contacts we have with students, I can accurately describe the kind of interaction I’ve had with any student."

Student Engagement

Retrieve, on-demand, a complete picture of student performance, allowing you to react while there’s still time, intervening when it matters most.

Proactively Intervene

Leveraging automated alerts and predictive analytics, colleges can:

Intervene quicker: many students are at-risk before the semester even starts (retaking a critical class for the 3rd time, taking classes off-path, etc). Insights from ZogoTech can point you to them.
Easily contact students through email, mail-merge, phone lists, or text messaging (via integration).
Run academic reports on students’ GPA, class enrollments, test scores, financial aid, performance by gender, ethnicity, cohort, etc. to find subpopulations.

Empower End Users

ZogoTech provides end users access to information on their students without having to go through IR or IT. Users can also upload lists of students from CSV files and then combine that list with other filters. For example, an admissions office could upload a list of student IDs for students who attended an event and then apply other filters to see which ones were previous students.

This example shows a complex query that advisors can pull without IR or IT. It shows students who: (1) enrolled in the spring and (2) are not enrolled in the Fall and (3) have no more than 2 requirements remaining to complete ANY credential (via Pathways) (4) have a 3.0 GPA and (5) are Low-income.

Advise Comprehensively

Examples of the information that can be included in the 360 degree student profile:

All contacts with the student, regardless of faculty or staff member, and details of those interactions.
Class history, Financial Aid, Holds, Placement tests
Noel-Levitz CSI/SSI survey results
LMS engagement and tutoring sessions (via integrations)
Enrollment at any other institution (via NSC integration)
Progression towards performance-based funding points
How close the student is to any credential (See Pathways Analytics)

Assess Outcomes

ZogoTech links intervention data with outcome data from multiple sources, allowing colleges to compare outcomes for targeted student cohorts with comparison groups of non-participants who are otherwise the same (or highly similar). Users can easily generate reports comparing outcomes for these groups to identify what, if any, effect programs and services may have on student outcomes. Colleges can use the software to confidently evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, using data mining tools and statistical models to rule out competing factors and establish that programs and services are, in fact, affecting student outcomes.

“The time that we have is extremely precious. We are able identify characteristics about our students using the navigator tools and its comprehensive components that we weren't maybe historically and we were missing on students.”

Why Choose Student Engagement?

Built-In Risk Indicators

Alerts are automatically generated for students at-risk based on research from Noel-Levitz and other student success experts and can be further customized to reflect the issues of greatest importance to an institution.

Comprehensive Student Profiles

All the information advisors, counselors, and other student support staff need to help a student succeed is available on a single screen and organized into tabs, making interactions between staff and students more effective and efficient.

Track All Student Engagements

Intervention data and student contacts from multiple departments are stored in the same location, consolidating “information silos” traditionally spread across campus. Staff know which services students received elsewhere and (optionally) what was said with a central repository for all student contacts.

National Student Clearinghouse Integration

Centralized data on student enrollments at other colleges and universities enable you to easily determine whether, and from where, a student has transferred into your institution. Colleges can also track the success of students who transfer out to four-year institutions.

Simplify Cohort Tracking

Create cohorts of students and track them over time, compare groups that receive an intervention to those who have not, and further disaggregate by dozens of variables such as gender, ethnicity, high school attended, classes attended, etc...

Easy to Use Interface

With a highly acclaimed user-friendly interface, even users with little computer knowledge can construct complicated queries by simply selecting filters from drop-down menus.

Testimonials About Student Engagement

“I would say learning about students with the numbers is the greatest way ZogoTech has helped us... making it really more personalized to the students. So instead of only looking at those high level metrics as a college, what we're doing is allowing users to break down into smaller and smaller populations that they can actually go out and make an impact for specific students.”

"We’ve been using ZogoTech since 2010. Just within the last few years, we’ve worked to develop these dashboards. And they’ve been awesome for us – they’ve been so helpful. We can keep a pulse on the student, see where the student’s at, and reach out to them at the first sign of distress."

“I track the progress of my students and my interactions with them. I want to document that so that we can, for data purposes, see if we’re retaining the students and if the work that I’m doing is making a difference.”

“With ZogoTech, our advisors can access the information they need quickly and easily, allowing them to be proactive, intentional and innovative, ultimately helping to keep students on the path to success.”

"ZogoTech is being used to monitor enrollment. To monitor students progressing to their degrees. I mean, ZogoTech is all about supporting student success. And we use it extensively in our student services, program areas to address those kinds of things."
