Student Success – A win:win for students and faculty in Higher Education
How Predictive Analytics is changing Higher Education
Institutions are turning to Predictive Analytics to increase their bottom line and competitive advantage. In order for educational institutions to differentiate themselves and remain competitive, institutions must identify and understand the needs of their students. Traditional surveys are retrospective and only offer an insight after the fact. Real-time data like attendance and grades provide current and future insights.
What is Predictive Analytics?
As the name suggests, Predictive Analytics makes predictions about unknown future events. Data mining, statistics, modelling, machine learning and Artificial Intelligence can all play a role in analysing old and new data to make future predictions.
SEAtS Software is top of the class for Attendance Monitoring
SEAtS Software is the most popular commercial Attendance Monitoring System in UK universities.
Corporate Information Systems Group (CISG) recently published their annual report of all UCISA member institutions. The results confirm that SEAtS Software is twice as popular as its nearest commercial competitor.
SEAtS wants to reverse a worrying trend in colleges which has seen student retention rates decrease for the 4th year running.
A key indicator of student progress is attendance. SEAtS provides the hardware and software to record accurate attendance. Attendance data combined with dozens of other data points offer a complete digital progress report of each student. Workflows allow faculty administrators to automate contact with the student and escalate at-risk students for data-driven case management.
Early intervention increases student retention, and reduces the financial and reputational loss for both the university and the student.
EdTech has seen an explosion in popularity in Higher Education over the last decade, and SEAtS Software is leading the way.

List of Tier 4 Sponsorship responsibilities, and how SEAtS can help
Maintaining a Tier 4 sponsor Licence is a priority for all Higher Education Institutions.
According to PWC’s 2018 report on Managing Risk in Higher Education, UKVI compliance is top of all HEI risk registers.
SEAtS have worked with several HEI’s to create a reliable solution that removes Tier 4 licensing from their risk register.
Below are a list of Tier 4 Sponsor responsibilities that SEAtS Software helps resolve:
- To take and keep copies of students’ passports, immigration status documents, visas or Biometric Residence Permits.
- To keep an up to date record of students’ contact details.
- To hold a copy of a student’s Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) clearance certificate where required by the student’s programme of study or research.
- To check that students have registered as required and to report those students who fail to register on time to UKVI.
- To monitor each student’s attendance and to report any discontinuation of studies or unauthorised absence to UKVI.
- To report deferrals, suspensions, withdrawals and terminations of study to UKVI.
- To notify UKVI of any significant changes in your circumstances, e.g. a change to your immigration status such that you are no longer sponsored under Tier 4, a change of programme at the University, early completion of your studies.
- To notify UKVI of any information which suggests a sponsored student is breaching the conditions of his/her immigration permission.
SEAtS is the world’s most effective student success platform in Higher Education. International students contribute enormously and SEAtS prioritises UKVI for HEI and Student Success.

SEAtS Software awarded place on G-Cloud 10
I am delighted to announce that SEAtS Software has again been awarded a place on the G-Cloud procurement framework, now in its 10th iteration.
G-Cloud is a government initiative which aims to make it easier for government bodies to buy cloud-based services, acting as a government-sanctioned marketplace. SEAtS was chosen as it met stringent standards of high quality, credibility and experience.
The primary goal of G-Cloud is to provide public sector organisations the opportunity to buy cloud services without needing to run a full tender or competition procurement process.
G-Cloud 10 is important for small and medium sized enterprises like SEAtS as it asks suppliers what they can offer rather than how they can meet a brief which encourages innovation.
Since 2012, more than £3 billion of cloud and digital services have been procured by public bodies through G-Cloud, with 48% of that spend going directly to SMEs.
Higher Education Institutions are subject to public standards of accountability. Basic procurement regulations ensure that money is spent in a way that is fair, open and good value for money. The tendering process can lead to a “race to the bottom” where price is put before quality; leading to inefficiencies and failed ICT implementation because the winning bid is simply unable to deliver on the cheapest price. The commonly used lowest price tendering approach can seriously damage software implementation, and damage reputation.
SEAtS Software are delighted to be a part of a government initiative that aims to improve public procurement efficiency, and cost management.

Download SEAtS new App Today!
I am delighted to announce that SEAtS new student mobile app for iOS and Android is available for download for even more efficient Student Attendance recording.
As you may know, SEAtS have been working on new architecture for the SEAtS Mobile iOS and Android Apps. We are now using the Microsoft Mobile Development Stack.

We will be adding many more exciting new features in the coming months. The SEAtS Product Marketing team will keep you updated on these new features via email.
You Ask, We Deliver
The feedback from customers was that many students struggled with the mobile code SMS, and an easier student on-boarding experience was needed. The SEAtS App now integrates with your Azure AD / ADFS security. The student will install the app and enter their university email credentials. It will then authenticate with the University Active Directory. SEAtS will continue to support text message sign-up for now. The student will then be able to access the SEAtS App and check in to class, view their attendance history and upcoming events.
City, University of London Partners with SEAtS

Manage your Students Path to Student Success today with SEAtS Student Case Management Solutions.
SEAtS Case Management Solutions:
Within any institution, there is a myriad of support services designed to help students overcome challenges and attain their goals. Research shows that students perform best when they spend time with the people on campus who can help them – typically being advisors, counselors, tutors, and lecturers. Unfortunately, engaging students with these services is often easier said than done.
SEAtS Case Management module of our solution facilitates meaningful contact between students and their lecturers, instructors or tutors. The module encourages students to engage more deeply in their academic lives by connecting them to the people and resources best equipped to help them succeed.
SEAtS Case Management gives lecturers a rich picture of a student’s engagement, attendance and success course at any given stage, allowing them to intervene when necessary ensuring that they stay on track with achieving their goals. SEAtS allow everyone (with a need to know) to see where that student is along that path. These case management tools focus limit institutional resources on what needs to be done next to student success.
SEAtS put everything related to each student’s success in one place for advisors. At a glance an advisor can:
– Review case workload
– Send bulk emails, letters or text messages using templates
– Create manual case interventions
– Book appointments with students
– Review student intervention history
– Review activity & attendance history
What it means for your campus
Our system puts everything advisors need to handle student success in the one place reducing advisor administrative workload with workflows and escalations.
GDPR – SEAtS are Ready
25 May 2018 marks the start of enforcement of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation.

Naturally, personal data is at the core of working in sales, so SEAtS and our users have also been busy to make sure that we are compliant.
This article provides an overview of the data-related roles and responsibilities when you’ve chosen SEAtS as your CRM platform and will explain SEAtS efforts to live up to the values and requirements of the GDPR.

SEAtS Announces Availability on G-Cloud 9
SEAtS Software Announces Availability on G-Cloud 9
SEAtS are proud and delighted to announce its continued presence on the upgraded G-Cloud 9 Framework. The latest round, G-Cloud 9, is part of the UK Government’s Digital Marketplace where public sector organisations can access suppliers and procure products without the need for a lengthy tender process.
Buying services through frameworks are faster and cheaper than entering into individual procurement contracts. Buyers and suppliers still need to sign a contract (or “call-off contract”) for each service bought through a framework.
The G-Cloud Framework is an agreement between the Government and suppliers who provide cloud-based services and the SEAtS Student Success Platform and host of cloud-based solutions can be found within the Software as a Service (SaaS) category.
We have a number of clients who have signed up for SEAtS solutions via G-Cloud since 2013. The process is more efficient and direct, cutting out a lot of red tape!

Ravensbourne Deploys SEAtS
Ravensbourne Goes Live with SEAtS
“What made SEAtS so appealing was its ready-made, automated approach to student success. The idea of something that is easy for staff and students to use and doesn’t take up too much time, it is so easy for students to just tap in on a reader at the start of class than a member of staff having to call out a register. This gives more time for teaching and hopefully has a positive impact on the student experience.”
Adam Campbell, Quality Officer Ravensbourne
The Challenges
Ravensbourne is constantly looking for ways to innovate and enhance the student experiences and outcomes. Ravensbourne identified the need to find a suitable attendance monitoring solution to aid this. Having used various manual attendance monitoring systems in the past that were inconsistent and inaccurate in recording data, a change was needed.
The Vendor Selection Process
Adam and the team at Ravensbourne wanted a solution that could deploy fast, evolve and grow with the business; this eliminated many vendors when combined the need for a solution that would be easy to use and understand. That way Students and Academic Staff would find it easy to use. The Crown Commercial Service’s G-Cloud procurement framework helped the decision-making process by identifying quickly a short-list of likely vendors. Ravensbourne selected SEAtS as it had the features and track record to handle deploying fast and with ease of transition.
The Implementation Process
Post vendor selection, Adam and the team at Ravensbourne faced the challenge of managing time, scope and the implementation of a new timetabling system. SEAtS and Ravensbourne personnel worked as a unified project team to map out and deliver key project milestones. SEAtS online project methodology and the portal was used to make sure deadlines and dates stayed on track.
Objectives
Student attendance monitoring was of valuable importance for the Ravensbourne team, they wanted a top shelf ready to use system to capture their attendance levels. They also wished to utilise early warning alerts automatically sent out to those students who are at-risk or failing. The solution needed to:
- Improve achievement by increasing student attendance
- Improve retention by strengthening engagement through improved pastoral care, reducing the risk of students leaving their courses
- Reduce administrative overhead of recording, monitoring and following up on attendance, with minimum disruption to the student and lecture in the classroom
- Support compliance for monitoring student attendance for UKVI for International students in a seamless and integrated way for all students
- Provide a better picture of room utilisation for timetable optimisation for the facilities and scheduling teams, and for senior management to enable strategic investment planning.
Results
Ravensbourne has officially gone live in January 2018. Speaking about this Adam Campbell said:
“As someone who is not directly involved in teaching, I did not have a great understanding of what was happening so inconsistently in the institution in terms of attendance monitoring. I think it has been insightful from that point of view. To see particularly our further education courses embracing it very quickly is very promising.”
The system provides a view of students who are expected in every class and then in real-time shows them swiping in and marked as “attended”. This removes the need to take local class registers. Students who are late are marked as such. Those who do not attend are shown as “absent”. Students who attend a session that they are not timetabled to attend are shown as “unexpected”. Reports are available to report on and monitor attendance by student, module, and programme. Automated alerts are sent to students who fail to attend a predetermined number of sessions.
Key Benefits for Ravensbourne:
According to the Ravensbourne team, deploying the SEAtS system has delivered the following key benefits:
- Better academic performance due to comprehensive engagement and attendance tracking for students
- Improved student retention due to early warning of “at-risk” students which leads to strengthening pastoral care
- Formal compliance reporting processes for Tier 4 Visa and Immigration.

Prepare for Brexit with SEAtS
With the future impact of Brexit taking shape (if it takes place which is likely), there is no doubt that it will have a big impact of the higher education sector. Research has shown that EU (non-UK) students will decrease from the current 120,000 post Brexit. Universities will have to work harder to keep their existing UK based students. They may have to recruit more UK-based students to fill the void, many with lower tariffs.
With the widening of participation, the cohort of at risk students increases. These students need active supports to complete their student journey right through to graduation.
Visa restrictions and higher fees for EU (non-UK) students due to their changing status will increase the UKVI compliance workload and associated risks. On the other hand, the drop-in Sterling benefits international students in the UK with lower fees and living costs.
Good business practice calls for planning for whatever eventuality will occur. SEAtS can help with our tried and tested solutions for Student Retention, UKVI compliance and much more besides.
We do this by giving you early warning alerts for “at risk” students. SEAtS also have a full suite of in-built workflows to track and alert on visa compliance issues. These two “out of the box” processes offer immediate compliance, retention and progression benefits.
Check out our suite of solutions which will he help your institution, students and reputation today and in the future:

All valuable data points for assessing compliance with DoE Federal Aid.
Meaningful Data on Student Financial Support with SEAtS
OFFA reports say UK universities need to measure effectiveness of hundreds of millions in student financial support.
The Office for Fair Access says £478m went to direct student financial supports in 2014-15. The spending was on bursaries and fee-waivers. The watchdog wants universities to measure the impact on student success, access and progression. Universities are working on common tools for assessing bursaries’ effect.
Supports are mainly subsidising fees with loans. Low income and disadvantaged students receive bursaries and fee-waivers to widen degree access.
Activity Tracking – Fitbit for Higher Education with SEAtS
Katie Winter
Director of Business Development, US
Have you read this article? “How Wearables have Influenced Data Use In Higher Education” by Patrick Cole. https://elearningindustry.com/8-ways-wearables-data-higher-education
The biggest takeaway: “Giving Students Access To Data Can Cause Changes In Behaviour”. It’s too bad that Higher Education leaders, administrators and instructors fail to execute on known strategies to change students behaviour. If you’ve read anything about Higher Education in the United States lately you’ll know that student retention and graduation are hot topics. At most public universities only 19% of college students graduate within 4 years. Whoa! That’s a lot of extra tuition parents are paying and more money taken out in student loans.

Student Retention and Completion Issues – How SEAtS can help…
According to studies in recent years, students who are attending four-year colleges in the United States are taking up to six years to graduate, if they graduate at all. The trend in delayed graduation rates is associated to the student’s lack of understanding about their degree requirements, personal family and work commitments that compete for limited resources, and incomplete support to help students develop and stick with a degree plan. SEAtS Student Retention Platform can help you here…
