Student engagement reporting has been developed to support student engagement and wellbeing and help the University to identify more easily any students who may be struggling, for whatever reason, with their studies so we can offer support. 

The student engagement report looks at whether students have used various systems, including Student Check In, Moodle, library loans and Resource Booker. If a student hasn’t used any of them for a period of two weeks or more, they will appear on the PDT’s report which will be emailed to them automatically each Monday. The PDT should then contact the student to check they are OK and see if there is anything we can do to help.

It is recognised that engaging with systems doesn’t fully show if a student is engaging with their studies but is a helpful tool and can indicate if a student is starting to experience challenges. The report is extremely helpful to the University from a wellbeing and safeguarding perspective and helps us to deliver on our duty of care to our students.

The report is easy to access and pulls together usage information from multiple systems into one place to allow us to pick up on potential issues in a quick and consistent way.

Visa students will appear on the report but will be highlighted in orange. You do not need to contact these students as International Operations and Student Recruitment will do so. These records appear on the report for information and to inform discussions with that student if they are in contact for another reason.

By default, the report looks at undergraduate on campus students, but you can widen the student group being looked at by amending the selection criteria.

If you are a PDT you can access the report here at any time.

You’ll find the ‘Student Engagement Reporting – Non-Engagement Report Guide’ here, which includes template email text for contacting non-engaging students.

You can also look at detailed check in data at a module and student level. You’ll find the ‘Student Engagement Reporting – Attendance Report Guide’ here​.

You’ll find more information about student engagement reporting on My Napier.
