Overview

For those about to embark on a new academic year and the fall semester, let me just say:

That goes for professors and students alike.

But, if you’d like a little more support than just a “You’ve got this!!” pronouncement – and are a fan of teaching and learning analytics using SAS Viya for Learners (VFL) – then this 4-part series has got you covered.

Here’s what’s coming up:

Part 1: SAS Viya for Learners upgraded to SAS Viya 2025.03LTS

We’ll break down what this upgrade means, what’s new, and why it matters

Part 2: Bye, Bye SAS Drive

If you’ve grown comfortable with SAS Drive, you’ll want to read this. We’ll explore the post–SAS Drive world and look at faster, more streamlined alternatives.

Part 3: Resources to help you fall in love with SAS Viya for Learners

Discover a curated list of ready-to-use teaching and learning assets from SAS Academic Programs – available on the SAS Educator Portal and SAS Skill Builder for Students. You’ll also get practical details, so you can skip the trial-and-error and start learning right away. Happy learning!

Part 4: Calling all student hackers: please join us in the Student Track of the 2025 SAS Hackathon

Want to refine your analytical skills using the SAS Viya environment… while competing in the Cortex Analytics Simulation game? Against students from all over the globe? While getting a chance to win an iPad? Well, now that I’ve got your attention, please check out Part 4 of my series!
