Predictive insights for academic heads

Deans and academic heads need early signals to keep cohorts on track. LearnX provides predictive mastery timelines, risk indicators, and the actions that will move the needle.

Predictive visibility prevents surprises

Leadership teams need to know which programs are drifting early enough to intervene. Static reports arrive too late, and anecdotal updates miss the full picture.

LearnX aggregates mastery data, attendance, and engagement to forecast outcomes by cohort and course, then highlights the actions that change those trajectories.

When leadership sees risks early, they can deploy support before learners fall behind.

How to set up leading indicators

Choose signals that predict mastery, not just lagging grades. Then make them actionable.

  1. Track mastery momentum (pace toward completion) for each cohort.
  2. Monitor attendance and submission streaks as early warning signs.
  3. Surface instructor workload so support can be added before bottlenecks form.
  4. Attach recommended plays to each risk type so teams know what to do next.
