My Keele Journey

The My Keele Journey dashboard pulls together information from a range of sources to show a student’s overall engagement with academic life – including access to the KLE, physical Library resources, and Microsoft Teams, among other factors. 

You can monitor your own levels of engagement throughout your learning journey, and will be able to compare your engagement with your wider cohort. 

Selected staff will also have access to relevant student records for their role – for example your academic mentor will have access to the records of their mentees, or your School's Student Experience and Support Officer (SESO) will have access to information about students that they support.  

All undergraduate and postgraduate taught students have access to My Keele Journey.

It is really important that at the end of your studies you have developed subject knowledge as well as the skills and competencies recruiters are looking for. This is part of the Keele Distinctive Curriculum and My Keele Journey helps you do this.

The dashboard is a tool designed to be used alongside other more traditional methods of support and feedback, and is a resource to help you reflect on the way you engage with your studies e.g. to see how effectively you use certain resources.

The video below provides an introduction to the My Keele Journey dashboard.

My Keele Journey can also help your Academic Mentor and Student Support staff tailor individual support and guidance designed around you, through early intervention.

The video below shows a mock Academic Mentor meeting, providing an example of how the dashboard can be used in discussions with your Academic Mentor.

Your engagement is measured in various ways, including: 

• KLE log-in and course interactions
• Interactions with Microsoft Teams meetings, calls and chats
• Library use (loans, loan renewals and requests)
• Keele University WiFi log-in

For each element, no details of the nature or length of the interaction are recorded, just a usage figure. This data is then calculated by My Keele Journey to provide your engagement levels, which could be one of six: 

• None
• Very low
• Low
• Partial
• Good
• High

These six levels are illustrated using the following icons:

The engagement ratings are designed to offer some feedback about your patterns of engagement over time, to help guide your own activity with your studies. They also enable staff to tailor academic and pastoral support for you. It is important to note that they are never used as part of the assessment process or to instigate punitive measures such as disciplinary or misconduct investigations. 

Your individual engagement is plotted on a graph to show your engagement pattern, as well as the average engagement for your course. The graph and engagement rating is updated every night. This means you don’t have to wait for assessment results to get an idea of how effectively you are engaging.  

On the graph below the blue line is your engagement, the red line is your course peers’ (cohort’s) average engagement.

 

Engagement is also summarised in a bar chart. This represents the percentage of days you have been in each engagement category for the same time period as the graph. This can be changed by changing the date range for the graph.
