One thought on “Indiana colleges use analytics to try to increase retention

  1. “The tool is built around a series of decision trees, which Merlau described as a team of expert jigsaw-puzzle solvers working together, each solver looking for the puzzle pieces the previous solver missed.” – Can it fix the exorbitant cost of college education? Can it fix the poor ROI for a left hand puppetry degree? Probably not.
