Business Problem

Learners were leaving courses before teams had a clear early signal to intervene.

Objective

Build a machine-learning workflow that flags at-risk learners early enough for outreach.

Dataset

Online learning engagement and completion signals used for prediction modeling.

Tech Stack

Python, Scikit-learn, XGBoost, Pandas

Data Preparation

  • Prepared engagement features for modeling
  • Handled missing and noisy learner signals
  • Structured train/evaluation datasets

Analysis Process

  • Feature engineering for fatigue and engagement risk
  • Classification modeling with Scikit-learn / XGBoost
  • Model evaluation and actionable scoring lists

Key Insights

  • Early risk signals can surface before completion drops become obvious
  • Actionable score lists help teams prioritize outreach

Business Recommendations

  • Review high-risk learners on a fixed cadence
  • Pair model scores with human outreach workflows
  • Monitor precision and recall as data drifts

Outcome

See full case study for process detail and deliverables.
