McGraw-Hill Education, a learning science company, and ZogoTech, a provider of predictive data analytics services to higher education institutions, have entered into an agreement providing McGraw-Hill Education exclusive rights to sell the data firm's proven services.
The agreement signals McGraw-Hill Education's continued investment in learning science and data analytics as keys to improving student outcomes, and its desire to help bring ZogoTech's outstanding data science to scale nationwide.
ZogoTech is a leading provider of student success analytics solutions for community colleges. ZogoTech's software transforms disparate data into actionable insights for users throughout an institution. Administrators can identify policy changes that will affect student success by surfacing hidden trends and identifying which interventions are most effective. Researchers can drill down to understand underlying causes, quickly pivoting millions of rows of data. Advisors and faculty can utilise front-end applications that guide them to which students are at-risk and what action to take.
ZogoTech has successfully helped colleges improve retention rates. Through its work with Odessa College, for example, new data-based insights were obtained that led to an original scientifically based program for improving in-class retention rates. Those improvements have led to an in-class retention rate that increased from an average of 83 percent in 2010 to more than 94 percent in 2014.1
