On November 30, 2010, at 2:00 - 3:30 est, Sloan C will be sponsoring a webinar with SmarterServices called "Are Your Students Ready for Distance Learning."  Register today it is FREE!

In today's economy schools want to retain the students that they have enrolled.  This is especially true for distance learning programs which historically have higher drop out rates than traditional programs.  Wouldn't it be nice if you knew which online students were more likely to drop out?  You could then provide the remediation and support that they need to remain in your program and be successful. 

In this presentation Dr. Mac Adkins and Julie Owen of SmarterServices will share how schools measure learner readiness and how they use these measurements to identify at-risk students followed by interventions to help these students succeed.  The general construct of online student readiness and online student support will be explored as it is perceived by their institutions.

Dr. Adkins will share the results of a study conducted in 2010, involving over 200,000 students from around 300 colleges and universities which use the SmarterMeasure learning readiness indicator.  The study revealed several trends and statistically significant facts about levels of readiness among distance education students.

Webinar participants will also have an opportunity to explore how their institutions have helped online students remain in their programs and be successful.
