Upcoming Webinar
Building Capacity for
Student Success
Online academic advising
not only helps students achieve their educational goals, it also can improve
retention rates. Online academic advisers may proactively monitor student
performance, assist with goal setting and provide regular contact to help students
feel involved in the institutional community. As online programs continue to
grow, however, the role of online academic advisers also expands.
In this webinar, learn best
practices for online academic advising and hear how one school has successfully
used these relationships to increase enrollment and retention. Dr. Howell
Williams and Michael Tyree, of The Learning House, Inc., and Dr. Carol Ziegler,
Chief Mission Officer, from Notre Dame College, will discuss:
·
The Appreciative Advising approach in an online environment
·
Best practices for success coaching
·
How these techniques have been applied at Notre Dame College
·
Lessons learned at Notre Dame College
