The SUNY Center for Professional Development is pleased to offer the workshop "Using Predictive Analytics for Student Course Selection" on Friday, April 25, from 10:00 a.m. to noon at the SUNY Institute of Technology (SUNY IT) in Utica, New York.
Held in support of the SUNY FACT² Task Group on Learning Analytics, the workshop will be facilitated by Ron Sarner, SUNY Distinguished Service Professor of computer science at SUNY IT. It will provide a hands-on introduction to predictive analytics using decision trees to identify characteristics that differentiate between students who succeed in a course and those who do not. The workshop will provide an explanation of how decision trees work, data and software requirements, using SPSS decision trees, and interpretation of results. Bring your own data and work with facilitators one on one.
