Introduction to Anthology Illuminate
Anthology Illuminate is a groundbreaking data analytics platform specifically designed for higher education institutions. This comprehensive platform aims to break down silos, unlock hidden data value, and provide a clear path to success. By integrating data points from various sources, including Anthology products and external sources, Anthology Illuminate offers actionable insights that are pivotal for guiding both student and institutional success.
Key Features and Benefits
Anthology Illuminate provides holistic, data-driven impact across campus in three key areas. First, in Teaching & Learning, the platform enables personalized teaching and learning experiences by offering comprehensive student profiles that include academic history, course performance, communication history, and learning preferences. This allows institutions to intervene earlier and optimize courses effectively. Second, in Student Success, Anthology Illuminate enhances student support through targeted interventions, informed advising, and improved engagement, leading to higher retention and success rates. Lastly, in Operational Excellence, the platform helps institutions unlock operational efficiencies and cost savings by facilitating data-driven resource allocation, streamlining administrative processes, and enabling informed decision-making.
Advanced Data Exploration and Visualization
Anthology Illuminate offers two distinct modules tailored to specific user needs. The Reporting module provides institutional leaders and business users with advanced data exploration and visualization capabilities, allowing them to create reports and dashboards easily on the go. On the other hand, the Developer module empowers BI analysts and data developers with enhanced data querying experiences to meet advanced reporting needs. With these modules, users can spend less time manipulating data and more time deriving valuable insights.
Data Q&A and Custom Reports
Data Q&A within Anthology Illuminate allows users to explore institutional data by asking questions in a natural language format, generating customizable visual answers. This feature enables users to interact with their data efficiently, present answers visually, and access advanced filtering options. Custom Reports, on the other hand, offers users the ability to create interactive visuals, analyze data, and share dashboards with key stakeholders seamlessly. Users can connect with external data sources, create reports using drag-and-drop tools, and publish author reports and visualizations effortlessly.
Integrated Data Sources and Expert Reports
One of the key strengths of Anthology Illuminate is its ability to unlock the value of connected Learning Management System (LMS) and Student Information System (SIS) data. By leveraging data from Blackboard Learn and Anthology Student in a centralized analytics platform, institutions can drive success for both the institution and its students. Additionally, eligible Blackboard Learn clients can access a set of optimized built-in reports at no extra cost, specifically crafted for teaching and learning purposes.
