“…Perhaps with the adoption of learning technologies in the field of academic advising, the process of capturing and using this evidence of student learning might not be quite as difficult in the future. This author has suggested that technologies, such as learning management systems and e-portfolios, could help structure the advising process by having advisors organize their advising curricula with these tools while using the evaluation tools to encourage student critical thinking and acquire evidence of student learning (Steele, 2015(Steele, , 2016(Steele, , 2018. The adoption of such a process would provide a digital solution to the paper-based approach Gordon developed over 40 years ago.…”

Most individuals in the field of academic advising know Virginia Gordon through the dedicated and transformative work she did for NACADA. Less well known is the equally creative and transformative work she engaged in for most of her professional life at Ohio State University. This article addresses how her ideas and convictions about academic advising became the blueprint for how she created advising programs at Ohio State's University College from the mid-1970s to her retirement in the mid-1990s. The work she did during that time anticipated many of the ideas and practices adopted later by the academic advising field.

“…Another factor affecting the transition from high school to tertiary education is the utilisation of an academic advisor for course selection exposure to college experience and help with balancing study, work and life issues (Gultice et al, 2015;Steele, 2018). Gultice et al (2015) validated that a multifaceted approach between students and advisors regarding course selection could lead to appropriate remediation before a student registers for university, and when combined with targeted tutoring and support, a decrease in withdrawal and increased academic success.…”

Anatomy and physiology courses are a foundation for numerous degrees, but experience some of the highest failure rates of all undergraduate health science programs (Higgins-Opitz & Tufts, 2014). While interventions have been developed in an attempt to remediate this concerning phenomenon, there is a paucity of evidence to determine the reason anatomy and physiology courses pose such an obstacle to students, and whether there are reliable early determinants for student success in these courses. This review will discuss why this obstacle exists, and the factors that contribute to success and failure in undergraduate anatomy and physiology courses.

“…These factors are pushing parents to ask more questions on completion rates and student success. Therefore, the focus is no longer placed on enrolling in institutions of learning, rather on the time of completion and the success of the students in these institutions (Steele, 2018). There are a host of methods higher institutions can implement to influence student success, but one that stands out is the use of predictive analytical tools (Liu, Bartimote-Aufflick, Pardo & Bridgeman, 2017).…”

“…However, if learners exhibit unique challenges, a personalized model is advisable, and this is where the role of predictive analytics manifests. According to Steele (2018), the two main issues affecting the education industry are technology and data analytics. According to the researcher, the combination of technology and data analytics has transformed the education sector.…”

This paper explores the use of data through a predictive analytical approach to shift the current culture of academic advising from one of compliance to one that focuses on student learning and success in all areas of an educational experience.As educational institutions demonstrate an ever-increasing reliance on the use of data to make evidencebased decisions, the use of much of the same data can be used to develop an evidence-based profile of student performance. Advisors using analytics can predict future outcomes and proactively guide students to make betterdecisions regarding their selection of an academic major or coursework pathways, improving a student's likelihood of attaining a degree and consequent success in a given field. Due to the technological advances in the areas of educational data mining and the use of analytics, the capacity to guide students using rational, evidence-based information is now a possibility. This paper sets the stage for the use of predictive analytics that can influence a cultural shift in academic advising while offering caution that educational institutions must assess the quality of the data decisions that are being made.
