For SAS, Stream Data Cloud and its xAPI capability has provided a unique window into student behavior that has otherwise been near impossible to gather on a wide scale. Gaining access to this data has played a crucial part in building an accurate understanding of their students and how they learn from the training assets available to them, enabling SAS to improve upon these assets and refine the overall student experience.
The data cloud has also enabled SAS to collect a far more granular degree of data about specific student behavior, applying to both student interactions with courses in general, as well as student interactions with individual pieces/content features. As a result, SAS has found that they can use not only if students are completing a course, but whether they are engaging with the content throughout the course.
In the long run, SAS hopes that as more detailed data is gathered, tailored offerings and customized learning paths for students will become a possibility.
