 Hello everybody, my name is Sarah Gibbons and I'm working within the Centre for Teaching and Learning in the University of Limerick. As my colleague Bernadette Walsch already alluded to, we set up a student engagement and success unit within the university summer 2015, and there were three positions appointed. I've had the privilege of being into of them. So, the first year support role that Bernadette referred to, I was in for the inception, I suppose, of the unit, and it was very much a student facing role. It was a role that was made available to first year students from orientation as a go to place, as a signposting spot, I suppose, that had no allegiance to their course or otherwise, and I was probably in contact with over about 300 students who came to me, made contact with me in various different ways over their first year, and with that came a range of issues, a range of concerns, as you all would be aware of, and I've moved into then an educational development role, which is within the Centre for Teaching and Learning, but all of this is under the guise of student engagement and success. Within the university, as well as putting these positions in place, and also working the three roles, one within student affairs, one within the Centre for Teaching and Learning, and one within the library, we have internal, obviously, facing responsibilities within the areas that we belong to, but we similarly work within this virtual space for the three of us work on progressing specific areas within student engagement and for student engagement and success and to improve that. At faculty levels, faculties have been tasked with positioning student engagement and success as an item for discussion within the faculties, but similarly, at an institutional level, a committee has been formed specifically to discuss and to progress the work in this area as well, so it's very much with that bottom up top down intention. Within the Centre for Teaching and Learning there are five learning centres that come within the umbrella, and within the ICT learning centre at the moment there's a data tool that's being progressed within that space, and it's specifically to capture the issues, the concerns, the problems that students are coming to that learning centre with, capturing that in an online space with a view then to improving the type of work that the tutors in that space are undertaking, and then lastly, just to make reference to an institutional data warehousing project that's underway within the university at the moment that has been scoped with a view to talking about or to responding to a lot of those higher level reporting requirements that we all have. The hope is that if we get to the space where we have ticked that box that this warehousing space will also be able to bring us to a point where we can move towards student engagement and providing information there. So opportunities and challenges, I suppose from an opportunities perspective we've been lucky enough that there's been the resourcing of these particular positions which are in response to strategic issues and concerns around retention, the fact that we do have this internal data management project ongoing, and also I think I see it as an opportunity and have been made aware of some of the work and the advancements in other institutions in Ireland, and that's a huge learning opportunity for all of us. Challenges, data collection for us and for many as people have been saying is quite fragmented, there's different metrics that are being defined and recorded depending on work remits, and the view on what data is useful for and what its purpose should be as well. So next steps, to ensure student data is used to improve and complement the student experience, I think it's important as well that this is just one of the pieces that improves student engagement and success and that it's not viewed at any point as just the one size fits all. Guidance in an institutional approach in the use of responsible learning analytics would be really incredibly useful and how to inform and engage students and staff about learning analytics and also the embedding of the ethical use of student data. Thanks.
