CourseKey is a student success platform purpose-built for vocational education programs. Our software collects timely and accurate student data from every learning environment, visualizes it into accessible dashboards, and automatically act on it to intervene with at-risk students and celebrate student wins. 

Data Collection

We collect data in two different ways: 

• By integrating with your SIS and LMS to pull data into CourseKey, and push it back to the SIS for data storage. This includes metrics like grades, asynchronous attendance, and other student data. 
• Directly from students via a student mobile application. This includes metrics like synchronous attendance, externship attendance, skills, satisfaction, and more. 

We collect and update data in real time, eliminating the need for data reconciliation or consolidation. 

Data Visualization

We pull the aggregated data and automatically combine it into easy visualizations for both students and staff. 

Staff gain an immediate, holistic view of the student journey at a glance. Because there are no data delays, it eliminates cross-departmental data silos. For example, with CourseKey: 

• Enrollment teams gain an immediate view of FDA, allowing them to act fast if a student doesn’t show up. 
• Finance teams gain an immediate view of FDA and LDA, allowing them to tackle timely Title IV processes faster. 
• Student success advisors no longer have to wait for instructors to enter grades or attendance data to gain a full view of student progress. 

With clear, holistic visualizations, CourseKey serves as a “command center.” Many leaders check CourseKey periodically throughout the day for a quick overview of what’s happening at their school. 

Students also gain visualizations of their time and progress toward graduation within CourseKey’s student app, empowering them with the information they need to make decisions that progress them toward graduation. 

Automated Intervention 

While we’re visualizing the data for your team, our software is also already acting on it based on your organization’s custom triggers. For example, if a student misses five days in a row of class, you can set up a check-in message to go out via push notification, text message, or e-mail. CourseKey will also notify your staff when students hit certain risk thresholds so they can add the human touch. 

From a compliance standpoint, automated intervention ensures consistency, standardization, and documentation. 

While some LMS and SIS offer automated interventions, CourseKey’s interventions are unique in a few ways: 

• We take a composite of multiple factors to determine student risks, where as an LMS might only look at the activity that happens within the LMS. 
• Because it’s all automated, our interventions happen in real time instead of waiting for data, or other delays. 
• We send out interventions based on what’s happening in a student’s individual journey, not just based on the student’s status.
