Massey University and the University of Canterbury talk about their experiences and what they learned from using data and technology to understand and deliver better outcomes for their learners.

The Tertiary Education Commission is pleased to share with you a recording of the Data and Technology Learner Success Capability session featuring a panel discussion with:

  • Dr Tere McGonagle-Daly, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Students and Global Engagement from Massey University – Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuora
  • Professor Catherine Moran, Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic from University of Canterbury - Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha
  • Kaylene Sampson, Kaihautū Angitu Ako - Programme Director, Learner Success of University of Canterbury - Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha.

The Data and Technology Learner Success Capability focuses on the ability to ethically collect, assess, analyse and use data to inform decisions, and to use technology to support learner success for all.

Sector showcases different organisational approaches to learner success in capability sessions

This is first in a series of sessions we are hosting alongside the sector to showcase the different organisational approaches tertiary providers are taking to become more learner-centric. The learner success capabilities are the key elements a tertiary education provider needs to get right to enable learners to succeed – whatever that looks like for each learner.

The goals of these sessions are to bring together tertiary providers in the spirit of learning, knowledge sharing, and collaboration, as well as enhance individual, group, and organisational development. We also want to help continue the momentum toward a more equitable tertiary sector, that was so apparent at last year’s Tūwhitia Symposium, so it carries on through to Te Wānanga o Aotearoa hosting the 2023 symposium on 28 and 29 September. 

Rolling out recordings of learner success capability sessions

We will continue to roll-out recordings of these capability sessions over the coming months. The next session focuses on the Partnerships for learner success.
