title = "Investigating the efficacy of algorithmic student modelling in predicting students at risk of failing in tertiary education.",
abstract = "The increasing numbers enrolling for college courses, and increased diversity in the classroom, poses a challenge for colleges in enabling all students achieve their potential. This paper reports on a study to model factors, using data mining techniques, that are predictive of college academic performance, and can be measured during first year enrolment. Data was gathered over three years, and focused on a diverse student population of first year students from a range of academic disciplines (n≈1100). Initial models generated on two years of data (n=713) demonstrate high accuracy. Advice is sought on additional analysis approaches to consider.",
