Training Calendar

With the massification of higher education it is easy for students to feel like a number, especially in a large enrolment subject. This session will present a case study of a large class (2100 students annually) and how they have overcome the problem of scale and increased engagement.

Examples include:

1) automated emails and SMS based on learning analytics to connect with students based on their grades, login activity, assessment submission and completion. 
2) Improving the quality and student’s satisfaction with feedback, using by recording audio feedback and using feedforward strategies, and
3) Giving just-enough, just-in-time, just-for-me support using a Live Chat widget within the unit’s LMS site.

Jaclyn will present data on increased retention (e.g. 98%), high student satisfaction with the teaching within the subject (e.g. 95-98% satisfied) and high satisfaction with the feedback they receive (e.g. 93-99% satisfied).
