Hear David Cook, Executive Director of Institutional Research & Planning at Illinois Central College, describe the college’s transformative analytics journey.
The challenges facing higher education today
Colleges and universities hold a wealth of data, but it is often spread across systems and hard to turn into action. Institutions we speak with commonly face:
Fragmented data
Information about students, courses and operations sits in separate systems such as the LMS, with no single view.
Slow, manual reporting
Staff spend time compiling reports by hand, and leaders get insight after the decision window has passed.
Uneven data literacy
Faculty and staff want to use data but need the right tools and training to feel confident.
Rising expectations
Students expect personalized, responsive experiences while budgets and resources stay tight.
Case study: Illinois Central College
From LMS data to decisions: a unified analytics environment for faculty, students and administrators, built on Pyramid Analytics.
Strategic implementation & training
We assessed the college’s existing LMS environment and built a tailored strategy to integrate Pyramid Analytics. Training through the Pyramid Learning Hub equipped staff and faculty to use the platform fully, from viewing reports to building advanced dashboards.
Data integration & analytics enablement
We brought together diverse data sources within the LMS to enable real-time analytics on student engagement, course performance and faculty effectiveness. The unified view lets the college track learning outcomes closely and spot where to improve.
