Want to discover how we have begun to bridge the gap in student success and retention in online courses? We'll share the details on how we were able to increase semester to semester ABC Success by 6.21% and increase retention by 4.45%.
The speakers participated in Moraine Valley Community College’s Retention Academy. The goal of the academy is for participants to explore barriers to retention that students face and implement successful retention practices both within and outside the classroom. The intention of the Academy was to
- Discover: Learn more about retention and barriers to retention that our students face
- Inquire: Explore a research-based project that is relevant and specific to your interest
- Inspire: Share findings and best practices with colleagues.
As academy participants, we looked for opportunities to improve success rates in online courses. We discovered the practices also increased retention rates! During this session, we will share information related to employing a collaborative approach to researching and developing an intervention focused on improving in-course level success rates of online students, our pilot semester results and future plans. We look forward to hearing about your best practices, successes and challenges too.
