I am a Data Engineer at the OUAnalyse team and currently also a technical lead of the project. As a part-time PhD student, I am investigating how Learning Analytics can be used to target awarding gaps, which is a severe problem occurring in Higher Education institutions across the whole UK. My main focus is currently the development of an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion dashboard to spotlight awarding gaps across diverse groups of students within their modules and help understand the driving factors of awarding gaps.
