Researchers have developed FACTRIA, a framework designed to help identify and interpret biases within institutional analytics dashboards used in higher education. This framework, which categorizes potential biasing factors across the analytics pipeline, institutional context, course characteristics, and demographics, was integrated into an AI-powered chatbot. A study involving stakeholders and authentic institutional data cases demonstrated that the AI chatbot, guided by FACTRIA, prompted users to recognize how overlooked factors influenced their interpretations, thereby enhancing context-aware analysis of institutional data.
