Overview
The Overall Risk score in Onefile Engage is calculated by combining the weighted values of all active risk metrics. Each metric contributes differently based on its banding and weighting, helping to determine a learner’s overall level of risk.
How the Overall Risk Score Is Calculated
The system calculates the score using the following steps:
- Check the percentage: Identify where the metric’s value fits within its banding.
- Calculate the weighted banding: Multiply the percentage (Risk Value) by the metric’s weighting.
- Add all weighted metrics: Total all weighted banding values.
- Count the total weighting: Add together the weighting values for all included metrics.
- Calculate Overall Risk: Divide the total weighted banding by the total weighting.
Weightings
Each metric has a weighting based on its level of impact:
- No impact: 0
- Low: 1
- Medium: 2
- High: 4
Example Calculation
| Metric | Metric Value | Banding (Weighting) | Calculation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weeks since any activity | 5 weeks | High (4) | 4 × 80% = 320 |
| Weeks since journal logged | 5 weeks | High (4) | 4 × 80% = 320 |
| Weeks since last logged in to Eportfolio | 5 weeks | High (4) | 4 × 80% = 320 |
| Number of tasks completed beyond target date | 0 | Low (1) | 1 × 9% = 9 |
Total weighted banding: 969
Total weighting: 13
Overall Risk: 969 ÷ 13 = 75%
Risk Status: At Risk
Important Information
The predictive risk score differs from the defined risk metric. It uses historical Onefile data to analyse patterns in learner behaviour and the likelihood of becoming disengaged or leaving their programme.
Predictive risk uses a weighted scoring system that adapts depending on the learner’s stage in their journey. This ensures that risk assessments are dynamic, responsive to current activity, and provide proactive insight into potential issues.
