“How to find the right time to connect with students

Western Governors University’s Jennie Sanders joins the Cutting EDge podcast to share how her team is using data to understand the positive impact of reaching out to struggling students quickly. In a research paper published in the Journal of Postsecondary Student Success, the university reported that students who received timely faculty outreach via a dashboard were 20% more likely to complete their courses than students who did not receive the same level of personalized help. “We wanted to understand not just the impact of the outreach, but also the timing of the outreach across the entire experience of the learners,” Sanders says. “What we found was that for those students who receive that outreach, it certainly had a positive impact on their course completion, as well as the retention.” Tune in to the podcast.

Best Wishes!
