For the latest free CDE seminar we were very pleased to welcome Jon Bellum, Provost and Senior Vice-President at Colorado State University-Global Campus, to Senate House to talk about a case study for retention in online learning.
Colorado State University-Global Campus is a 100% online public institution focused on providing adults with career-relevant bachelor’s and master’s degrees. A university wide retention and persistence program was designed to provide its non-traditional students with the support they needed throughout the student lifecycle. Since implementing this process improvement, CSU-Global has been able to maintain first-to-third term retention rates that exceed 80% and a four-year retention/graduation rate that exceeds 75%.
The presentation ran through the processes involved in implementing this programme and reviewed the outcomes.
The slides and seminar is of interest to anyone involved in developing courses for online or flexible delivery – audio for the session can be found at www.cde.london.ac.uk.
During the February 2017 Division meeting, the national climate regarding veterans on college campuses was discussed. In addition to a panel of USC student veterans speaking on their experience transitioning from combat to the classroom. Dr. Luna, Associate Vice President for Housing and Student Development at USC, used these slides to share what's next for student veterans on our campus.

We Can All Go To College: We Just Need A PlanRebecca Joseph
This is a presentation I gave to all seniors at South East High School in LAUSD. The students are all bound in different college directions, and all need to make pro-active plans NOW.
Our goal is to ensure that more children find jobs by being academically and socially ready for their first year of college. The "College Ready" High School to College Pipeline program allows colleges and universities to enroll students that have been acculturated to college, both socially and academically. This program will increase their retention and graduation rates, while decreasing the institution's drop-out rates.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
