Learning Analytics - Phase 2
Learning analytics has become an increasingly hot topic of discussion in higher education. It can be best described as the process of interpreting course data collected from online interactions with content, activities, and other individuals. The goal is to use this information to improve student engagement and learning outcomes in future courses. Last spring, ITS launched a new Learning Analytics initiative. Phase 1 continues to be available, with Phase 2 slated for release January 2020. For more information, please visit Learning Analytics.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enhances information security by combining your traditional UVID and password with another credential for authentication, making it more difficult for hackers to compromise your account. Currently, MFA is only required if you use Loyola Secure Access (LSA). ITS is now piloting and testing MFA with other applications, with the plan to phase in MFA for more applications and services over time. Visit the MFA website for the latest updates.
