ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Academic analytics

Academic analytics is like a really smart grown-up who helps schools and universities understand how well they are doing. They use special tools and data to look at things like how many students are passing classes, how good the teachers are, and how much money the school is making. This helps the school figure out what they are doing well and what they need to improve. It's like when you do a puzzle and you look at the pieces to see which ones fit together and which ones don't. The grown-up also helps the school make better decisions so that the students can learn better and be happier. Think of it like having a really good coach for a sports team, but it's for a school instead.
