Student Completion and Retention

Goals

Reduce online student dropout rates and increase student completion rates by promoting completion activities and data analysis. Disseminate student, instructor and institutional strategies which can help improve completion rates. Evaluate the usefulness of existing data, data analysis, and analytics software for these practices.
