Anthology’s Newest Intelligent Experience: Helping Advisors Intervene Early with Academic Engagement Insights
Published
At Anthology Together ‘23 in Nashville, we unveiled our vision for an early intervention tool for advisors, combining the power of Blackboard® Learn (LMS) and Anthology® Reach (CRM). As promised, Anthology continues to fulfill its mission of providing dynamic, data-informed experiences to the global education community with this new installment of Anthology Intelligent ExperiencesTM (iX). We are delighted to introduce the LMS Trends Report, a powerful addition to Anthology® Succeed—our student success and advisory module in Anthology Reach. The LMS Trends Report is designed to empower advisors in managing student cases more effectively by harnessing data from Blackboard Learn to offer comprehensive insights into learners' academic performance and critical learning engagement indicators.
LMS Trends Report - Anthology Reach
We believe that one of the greatest obstacles to providing personalized, proactive support to learners is the lack of access to timely, reliable, and actionable data. Advisors often have limited access to data directly from the learning management system, if it is available to them at all. Relying on manually reported alerts, as advisors often must do, results in interventions that come too late for learners who are at risk of failure. The average ratio of students to academic advisors is 375-to-one, according to the National Academic Advising Association, making it increasingly difficult to support learners. With large caseloads, limited time, and fewer resources, advisors need to be able to easily identify learners who are experiencing academic risk in order to connect them with the support that they need.
Through this Anthology Intelligent Experience, advisors have the necessary information right at their fingertips! The LMS Trends Report within Anthology Reach surfaces vital information about learners directly in the advising interface to more effectively engage learners who are showing risk of course failure or withdrawal.
Academic advisors and student success coaches can expect the following benefits from the LMS Trends Report:
As promised, the LMS Trends Report is now available in Anthology Reach’s Succeed module with further iterations to come as we continue to advance this early intervention tool in partnership with our client community. It is now available for clients using both Anthology Reach and Blackboard Learn at no additional cost. Connect with an Anthologist today to start taking advantage of this new feature.
“Risk Notifications that come after midterms are not early alerts; they can hardly be called alerts at all,” said Dr. Andy Miller, director of product management, student achievement at Anthology. “Surfacing these data for advisors to use at will empowers them to transition from reactive support to proactive in a scalable way. We are connecting advisors to poignant information so they can spend more of their time doing what they love: supporting learners.”
At Anthology, we understand that every learner’s journey is unique. By providing the broadest and most holistic set of EdTech solutions, and intelligently connecting data across your institution, we’re opening a world of possibilities — and enabling a more personalized and supported experience for your learners.

- Academic performance focus: Recognizing the pivotal role of academic performance in student retention and success, this feature equips advisors to address concerns promptly. Students at risk of academic challenges can be identified early, preventing academic probation or potential dropout.
