6 ways StREAM supports international student engagement
Academic engagement monitoring has evolved in recent years. Not only is it important for Higher Education providers to meet obligations as sponsors of students on the UKVI Student Route, but also that they ensure every student feels connected, supported and empowered to reach their full potential.

Here’s 6 ways the StREAM can support international student engagement:

 

  •  Provide a simple and transparent understanding of ‘academic engagement’

The StREAM dashboard reflects how academic engagement is represented at your institution, making it easy to holistically track progress and compliance in real time. Defining ‘engagement’ at cohort level enables a deeper understanding according to discipline, study mode and level of study.

 

  • Access a single point of reference for attendance, engagement and assessment data

StREAM provides an easy-to-interpret digital picture of how students engage with their studies – at individual, cohort, School/Faculty and institutional level. Triangulate data on attendance, educationally purposefully activities, assessment submissions and grades to demonstrate a rich, layered understanding of how students engage.

 

  • Early identification of students at risk of withdrawal

Use data-driven insights to identify students with engagement behaviours that signify risk of disengagement and possible withdrawal – across all levels of the institution – enabling early interventions that support successful outcomes for each individual student.

 

  • Align academic and pastoral activity to institutional policy requirements. 

Activate interventions and notifications functionality configured to your institutional policy and processes for international student support – including the ability to trigger notifications when engagement falls below pre-defined thresholds.

 

  • Empower students to take ownership of their own learning

Student-facing dashboards allow students to access their own engagement data for self-reflection and understanding. This transparent approach encourages more proactive and meaningful interaction between students and staff.

 

  • Provide executive level insights to support UKVI monitoring requirements

Create easy-to-use, customisable and downloadable reports that provide top-level management insights for reporting and planning purposes as well as to support the UKVI monitoring requirements.
