What is Elements of Success?
Elements of Success is a learning analytics platform that gives students real-time feedback in an easy-to-understand, visual format that helps students succeed by helping them better understand their current course performance and ways they can improve or maintain their grade.
This program was created by the Office of Teaching, Learning, and Technology and Administrative Information Systems, in close collaboration with faculty members at Iowa.

Although Elements of Success can be used in a variety of courses, it will be most valuable for courses with certain characteristics, such as:
- Courses that have formative assessments (small assignments like homework or quizzes) and summative assessments (larger assignments like tests or papers).
- Courses where the ICON gradebook uses assignment groups and is frequently updated.
- Courses that have at least 25 students.
