Revitalising Programme Review: Harnessing Data and AI for Evidence-Based Improvement

Abstract

Traditional annual programme reviews are often slow, data-heavy, and prone to subjective interpretation, with faculties struggling to integrate diverse data for actionable insights. Automating reports and using AI-generated insights speeds up reviews, helping faculties plan interventions to improve student learning and foster continuous improvement. The Programme Learning Analytics Report (PLAR), piloted since October 2023 across 80+ undergraduate programs, has recently been updated with AI technology to enhance data interpretation and generate deeper insights. This AI integration streamlines analysis, enabling faculties, departments and programme leaders to uncover key themes and trends more efficiently, supporting responsive, data-driven decision-making and programme improvements.
