Lynnette Brice discusses the stages, processes, and challenges of designing and implementing a new student support model for Open Distance and Flexible Learning.
Summary of webinar themes
Why do students exit from on-line flexible learning? Lynnette draws from the work of Vincent Tinto and Ormond Simpson to explore reasons why students might drop out of on-line learning without completing qualifications.
Developing a tiered support model: In this webinar Lynne describes how a tiered support model can address many of the issues surrounding retention and completion in on-line learning. The tiered support model has three levels: an institutional or organisational level, a programme or course level, and a targeted student level.
Challenges and implementation: Lynnette provides an overview of some of the challenges and stages of implementation for the tiered support model and opens the conversation for discussion with the audience.
