About Teaching & Learning Analytics

The Compass Teaching & Learning Analytics (TLA) project is a cross-functional initiative that aims to improve student success and outcomes by providing data-driven insights to various stakeholders at UCI.

TLA also facilitates teaching & learning research by partnering with data scientists and facilitating access to anonymized data sets.

TLA offers a range of reports, dashboards, and web applications that leverage data from multiple sources to support course and learner analytics, grading equity, early intervention, co-curricular activities, and more.
