McGraw-Hill Partners with ZogoTech on Student Retention

McGraw-Hill Education has partnered with ZogoTech in an effort to improve student retention in higher education through predictive analytics.

"ZogoTech's software transforms disparate data into actionable insights for users throughout an institution," according to a news release. "Administrators can identify policy changes that will affect student success by surfacing hidden trends and identifying which interventions are most effective. Researchers can drill down to understand underlying causes, quickly pivoting millions of rows of data. Advisors and faculty can utilize front-end applications that guide them to which students are at-risk and which action to take."

As a result of the partnership, McGraw-Hill will be the exclusive seller of ZogoTech's tools.

"We're excited to team up with ZogoTech to bring its cutting edge analytics and services to colleges looking to make more data-informed decisions," said Jerome Grant, senior vice president of enterprise services for McGraw-Hill Education's higher education group, in a prepared statement. "As a learning science company, we're constantly looking at the most impactful research and searching for innovators who are finding new ways of improving results for schools."
