Improving student inclusion through learning analytics

At the Utrecht University of Applied Sciences, students from a non-standard background often have deficiencies in their mathematics/physics/engineering skills. To improve inclusiveness, a practice support app called Step-Wise has been set up that automatically detects these deficiencies and advises studentson which skills to practice. Through student interviews using the CIMO-logic, it has been established that this app mainly improves the effectiveness of practice, although it also has a beneficial effect on theamount of exercises practiced and on the student motivation.
