Researchers have developed a predictive model using learning analytics to identify first-year computer science students at risk of failing. The model combines traditional academic data with digital markers from learning platforms, such as Moodle interaction logs. A key finding is that weighted academic momentum, a metric derived from assignment scores, is the strongest predictor of failure, especially when combined with engagement on the learning management system.
