Learning analytics is an emerging approach tomotivating STEM faculty to implement evidence-based teaching practices.The project also builds and strengthens faculty communities and develops a culture of inquiryand conversations that are data-informed – all to build readiness for transformation. We areexploring how a change framework for intentional capacity building by creating facultycommunities with similar interests across disciplines and course-level data dashboards canestablish the foundation for implementing change in their instructional practices and curriculum,with faculty members becoming change

The project goal is to enhance the capacity in faculty PIs’ use of institutional datain support of their S-STEM proposals. In particular, the project seeks to increase faculty PI’sknowledge of and confidence in using data to better understand their institution’s STEMenrollment, retention, and graduation landscape for low-income students with academic potentialand ability. Thus, the project objectives are to: 1) develop and implement a virtual workshop series focused on the institutional student data
