Great first meeting with the Learning Community (LC)! It sounds like many of you have different ideas, goals & reasons to attend. I hope that you are able to connect with others in our LC to brainstorm & share ideas on what sort of technologies you might take back to your home campuses. Here are a few that were mentioned from our first LC Session:
- Contact & connect with more students
- Retention & recruitment
- Orientation & First Year students
- First Generation students & limited web value
- Grants (Title 3) & deciding how to best utilize resources/plans
- Student Readiness Inventory
- Online Advising Booking System & Database
- Optimize limited resources due to fiscal cut backs
- Adult online education programs
- Online university models & online advising
- Web-based surveys
- Geography & isolation – need to connect
- Degree audit programs
- Technical support & talking to IT
- Limited internet connection & experience (the students)
- Costs of implementation
PHEW! Those are just a few, and I am sure that more will arise from our LC discussions. Please post any questions or discussion topics that you would like to address below. See you at 4:30 pm!
