My Keele Journey: Student Engagement Dashboard
Our Student Engagement Dashboard, My Keele Journey, enables you to track your engagement throughout your course, as well as giving our teams an opportunity to offer support if you need it, to help you make the most of your time at Keele.
My Keele Journey is a dashboard which 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. All undergraduate and postgraduate students have access to My Keele Journey.
You can monitor your own levels of engagement throughout your learning journey, and will be able to compare your engagement with your wider cohort.
You'll use the dashboard in meetings with your academic mentor, to track your progress and how you're getting on with your course, and you can also indicate your career readiness on the dashboard, to help you have beneficial discussions about your development. You can use the dashboard alongside other feedback and support tools and services to help you to reflect on how you're engaging with your studies, and anything you'd like to change or develop to help you progress.
Your School's Student Experience & Support Officer (SESO) will also have access to information about students they support.
It is really important to us that our students graduate from Keele with the skills and knowledge that recruiters are looking for, and are able to progress easily into their chosen career. My Keele Journey helps you do this.

Student Support services
- Attendance: An overview of your attendance

- Career readiness: The career readiness tile uses data that you provide at enrolment and re-registration. There are 10 career readiness statements to choose from, and the statement you select appears on a tile on your profile tab on the dashboard.
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.
There are help pages available in the dashboard with more frequently asked questions.
