In October 2018 EdSurge released the research study, "Measuring Up: How Community Colleges Define, Measure and Support Student Success", which revealed important trends in student success initiatives, current practices for institutional analytics and early indicators of student success at community colleges in the United States. In this interactive webinar, highlights from the study will be presented alongside five easy-to-implement methods that can be incorporated in College Success courses to encourage and evaluate student engagement for better learning outcomes. From tracking attendance to gauging students' conceptual understanding, student engagement opportunities are endless, yet within reach with the ubiquity of mobile devices. The session will explore and demonstrate analytics tools that enable community college faculty, course coordinators and administrators to understand how to get quickly and affordably get started using student engagement tools in College/Student Success courses.
