  • Using Data Analytics to Drive Student Engagement for an EdTech Platform

Client Background

The client is a fast-growing EdTech platform offering online courses, test preparation, and skill-based learning programs to students across India. Serving thousands of active learners through web and mobile applications, the platform generated large volumes of data across user interactions, content consumption, assessments, and subscriptions. While leadership believed data could drive better learning outcomes and retention, insights remained fragmented and underutilized, limiting the platform’s ability to proactively engage students and improve performance.

Challenges

The EdTech platform faced multiple data and engagement-related challenges:

Low and Inconsistent Student Engagement:
Many learners dropped off after initial enrollment, with limited visibility into engagement patterns and content effectiveness.

Limited Insight into Learning Behavior:
Student data existed across LMS, mobile apps, assessment tools, and CRM systems, making it difficult to understand learner journeys holistically.

Manual & Static Reporting:
Academic and business teams relied on manual reports that lacked real-time visibility into student activity and progress.

Difficulty Identifying At-Risk Students:
The platform lacked predictive capabilities to identify students likely to disengage or underperform.

Lack of Personalized Interventions:
Without data-driven insights, content recommendations and academic interventions remained generic and reactive.
