Tracking students' digital footprint at Ball State - Corey Ohlenkamp, Star Press

Are students skipping class? The university knows. Are students having mid-term deficiencies? The university knows. Are students involved in clubs or attending sporting events? The university knows that, too. Each of those things, and many more, are tracked digitally and become sets of data. Because of that, a student's digital footprint can be the fastest tool in Ball State's arsenal when it comes to helping students achieve success and, ultimately, a diploma. http://www.thestarpress.com/story/news/college/2015/01/25/tracking-students-digital-footprint-ball-state/22309715/
