Join us at SREE 2024 to explore findings from an ongoing study on the effectiveness of technology-based interventions in improving students’ self-directed learning (SDL) skills and a discussion of the challenges and opportunities of researching interventions designed to improve students’ SDL skills in a post-secondary setting.
Improving Student Success in Online Postsecondary STEM Courses through Technology-based Interventions
Wednesday, September 18
As students increasingly enroll in online postsecondary courses, instructors and students need new strategies to maintain engagement, motivation, and sense of belonging to have academic success, particularly for historically disadvantaged students. This study focuses on improving student success in online postsecondary STEM courses through improved technological applications and is situated in a larger collaborative initiative of federally funded research and capacity-building center, the Postsecondary Teaching with Technology Collaborative. As part of the initiative, instructors participated in rapid-cycle evaluations (RCE) to test one or more specific technology-based strategies in their courses to promote students’ Self-Directed Learning (SDL) skills.
Presentation materials coming soon.
