Proven to\u00a0<\/span>enhance<\/span> student outcomes<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Kortext\u00a0stream\u00a0is\u00a0<\/span>proven<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0meet\u00a0institutional priorities\u00a0for\u00a0student success and retention,\u00a0delivering\u00a0student\u00a0data\u00a0that\u00a0really\u00a0tells\u00a0a story.\u00a0From\u00a0enrolment to completion, detailed insights\u00a0enable\u00a0tailored outreach at the individual level.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By ingesting data from siloed digital technologies,\u00a0stream\u00a0codifies\u00a0that data into an\u00a0individual\u00a0engagement category\u00a0so\u00a0staff can\u00a0identify students in need of support as soon as engagement\u00a0drops, with detailed charts monitoring\u00a0development of\u00a0academically\u00a0purposeful behaviours.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An essential\u00a0<\/span>cog in<\/span> your data ecosystem<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

Recent reports\u00a0like Gartner\u2019s\u00a0show\u00a0that institutions are coalescing their technical spend around unified data models and cloud-based systems as part of modernisation agendas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this environment, Kortext stream is an obvious investment choice. Delivered as a SaaS model, Kortext stream reduces institutional reliance on dated, on-premise or slow-evolving infrastructure.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Routine upgrades are seamlessly enabled,\u00a0introducing\u00a0new or\u00a0enhanced\u00a0functionality to the platform\u00a0using\u00a0feature flags that\u00a0can be enabled\/disabled, giving you\u00a0institutional control\u00a0over\u00a0your\u00a0stream\u00a0environment.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Universities\u00a0are empowered to create a staged alerting process that automatically notify\u00a0colleagues where\u00a0student\u00a0outreach would be beneficial, in line with sector, government, PSRB and institutional requirements.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Institutions using stream are proven to\u00a0identify\u00a0students at risk as early as two weeks into the new academic year, rather than waiting months or reviewing historical data.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Insights at the institution level<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

In\u00a0two clicks, staff can see\u00a0immediately\u00a0which students need support.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From here, staff\u00a0can triangulate complementary data points to gain a more holistic view of the individual student experience.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From the student perspective, student access to stream fosters a partnership approach, providing learners with agency and ownership over any agreed next steps.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
