Data-Driven Course Redesign: Enhancing Student Outcomes

As the CEO of Catalyst Education, I am thrilled to share how our data insights empower instructors to transform their courses and elevate student success.

  • Enhanced Assessment Analytics: Our data insights provide granular item analysis, empowering instructors to evaluate the difficulty and discrimination of their assessment items in quizzes and reports. This data helps them target areas where students may need additional support or refinement in their content delivery.

  • Personalized Course Reviews: Our Faculty Success Managers leverage data insights to guide instructors in optimizing their assessments and lab reports. This personalized support enables instructors to tailor their courses to the specific needs of their students.

  • Informed Course Evolution: Our data insights empower instructors to monitor and adjust their courses continuously. By analyzing performance analytics, score variability, and time spent grading, instructors can identify areas for improvement and implement data-driven changes to enhance student learning.

Labflow's Data Insights empower instructors with actionable insights, enabling them to create transformative learning experiences that prepare students for success. By leveraging data to inform course redesign decisions, we are helping faculty achieve their instructional goals while monitoring the grading time. 

The time it takes to grade student work is a particular concern for course redesigns in recent months. In addition to automated grading and clickable rubrics for hand-graded responses, we are excited to add two more tools. 

  • Bulk Grading: Selecting multiple responses on the Quick Grade tab and assigning the same score and feedback enhances graders' ability to provide consistent scores and feedback more quickly. Instructors can save time by applying the same feedback to similar responses, leading to more consistent grading practices. Bulk grading streamlines the grading process, saving valuable time. 

  • Grading Time Analysis: Coming soon to our Data Insights pages, you can view the time it takes for a grader to complete the grading for a report. Identifying graders on the extremes, either too much or too little time, helps instructors focus their feedback and training efforts. Additionally, reports that take longer to grade than others are candidates for improvement in future semesters.

When we started Catalyst Education, we set three basic goals: Empower Educators, Improve Learning, and Save Time. These goals continue to be our guiding principles.
