Civitas Learning

Civitas Learning, founded in 2011, is a higher education technology company that provides a Student Impact Platform designed to improve student success and retention. The platform utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to analyze vast amounts of student data and generate actionable insights for educational institutions. At the core of Civitas Learning's technology is predictive modeling, a type of supervised machine learning, which helps predict student outcomes and guides institutions in creating effective student success initiatives.

The company's platform incorporates over 2,500 automatically created student data derivatives, including GPA trends, attendance patterns, participation levels, and discussion board activities. This comprehensive approach allows institutions to build a complete student picture by integrating academic, behavioral, engagement, financial, and sentiment data from various sources such as Student Information Systems (SIS), Learning Management Systems (LMS), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, and card swipe systems.

Key features of Civitas Learning's Student Impact Platform include persistence prediction, completion prediction, and initiative analysis. The persistence prediction feature provides weekly scores (daily in the Advising Analytics and Workflow solution) on each student's likelihood to persist, ranging from 0% to 100%. The completion prediction feature offers individual predictions for degree completion based on student performance and activity relative to historical trends. The initiative analysis tool employs a Prediction-based Propensity Score Matching (PPSM) technique to evaluate the effectiveness of student success programs.

Civitas Learning's platform aims to help institutions optimize resource allocation, improve student retention, and enhance overall institutional success. By providing real-time insights and predictive analytics, the company enables educational institutions to make data-driven decisions and implement targeted interventions to support student success throughout their academic journey.
