Estimates from the institution's own data
A machine-learning model retrained regularly on the institution's own quiz and assignment scores, attendance and engagement data. Until there is enough data to train it, the system uses published rules.
ClassWhy Insight · Explainable early warning
Know who needs support, and why, before the next assessment
The system estimates each student's need for support from their grades, attendance and engagement with course content, and shows the factors that raised it and the weight of each. When the level goes up, the teacher and the parent are notified.
Key features
What ClassWhy Insight provides
A written reason for every alert
Each alert lists the factors that raised the level and the weight of each, calculated with SHAP and LIME and written so teachers and parents can follow them.
A view for every role
Teachers see their students ordered by level of need, administrators see how levels are distributed and which factors come up most, and parents see their child's status in their portal.
A notification when the level rises
When a student moves to the high level, the teacher is notified in the platform and by email, and the parent through the enabled channels.
Inside your current learning system
The early-warning dashboard runs inside Blackboard, Moodle and Canvas through LTI 1.3 without moving any courses, and the student list exports to Excel.

Questions about ClassWhy Insight
Does the system replace the teacher's judgement?
No. It raises alerts and explains them; the educational decision stays with the teacher.
Which data does the estimate use?
Previous assessment results and their trend, the previous failure rate, gaps in assessment activity, attendance over the last 30 days, and engagement with course content.
Is early-warning data sent to a third party?
No. The model service runs as part of the platform itself.
