Overview

A case study from Rio Salado Community College, a large online college, will present best practices for promoting retention in an online learning environment. The Faculty perspective session will highlight the innovative use of data to identify students who may need additional support. The use of predictive modeling analytics and how it can convert this data into action by identifying learners with the highest risk of attrition and the circumstances affecting their success will be discussed. Presenters will show how you can use this data to design a corresponding communication campaign and develop other relevant instructor strategies for retaining and reaching online students.

The second part of this presentation will discuss the Student Affairs perspective and will highlight the use of an innovative virtual student union called the RioLounge. Participants will also see how Rio Salado College uses online orientation to improve student retention and success.
