This document discusses efforts to improve student retention and success at Kent University. It provides results from staff and student surveys that identify strengths like academic advising and areas for improvement such as support for mental health. Key themes from interviews highlight effective practices like personal support for students and transparency. Challenges include supporting commuter students and assessing workloads. The document proposes a whole-institution approach centered on academic tutoring, peer networks, and well-being support. It details enhancing the academic adviser system through standard meetings, skill-building sessions, and integrating advising into course credits.
The document proposes updates to Central Connecticut State University's early intervention program to improve student success and retention. It recommends implementing a new StudentPRO system to provide students with self-assessments and notifications about their academic progress. Faculty would use the system to flag at-risk students, who would then be required to meet with an advisor ("PRO") to develop a success plan connecting them with campus resources and support services. The proposal aims to increase collaboration between faculty, staff and administrators to better engage and support students through an early intervention program.

Enabling and enhancing student learning and support through technologyJisc
A presentation from Connect More 2020 by Peter Francis, deputy vice-chancellor, Northumbria University.
In recent months universities have rapidly implemented significant and often unplanned changes to the ways in which education is delivered. In large part, the nature of such changes will be temporary, although the significance of such changes may be longer lasting.
But this has also allowed universities to explore opportunities that otherwise may not have been considered. One can foresee that many universities will need to focus more time and energy on their approach to technology for student learning, and as a result their digital leadership. Yet technology on its own is not the solution; it is an enabler.
In this session Peter will reflect briefly on his own institution's journey towards technology-enhanced learning and support, one that encompasses a broad array of technological developments, and involved many colleagues and students, the aim of which is the delivery of a high-quality and inclusive student experience for all.

Positive impacts of High Impact Learning
In the recent past, there have been low rates of student retention in colleges and universities. There is a very high disparity between students that joining first year and those that would finish their fourth year (Kuh, 2008). Due to the increasing rates of student dropouts, universities have come up with high impact programs that are aimed at increasing the rates of student retention in universities. The first strategy that is showing hope in the current times is that one which is geared towards ensuring that the first year students enroll in seminars that allow them to develop teams that they are going to help each other learn and do some extracurricular activities throughout their time in the university. The second strategy that has been used by universities is learning communities where students are expected to write some assignments and do funded research in their field of study(Kilgo, Sheets, & Pascarella, 2015). Apart from that, students also get to interact with other students from all over the globe not mentioning the internship and capstone courses and projects. All these strategies are focused on making education more engaging, easy and involving for each and every student in the university. Examples of Universities that have implemented high impact programs are, Brock University, Florida state university, and Trent University.

It defines academic advising as a series of intentional interactions meant to contextualize students' educational experiences within their goals, abilities, and lives. The document discusses best practices for advising, including developing emotional intelligence and mindfulness. It suggests that when advisors skillfully apply mindfulness to enhance their emotional intelligence, they can become effective authentic advisors who help students develop these skills as well.
Implementing education responses to coronavirus (COVID-19)EduSkills OECD
The coronavirus crisis has seen education systems around the world having to quickly react to the unprecedented situation. We present a toolkit to help countries continue in their efforts to design and implement education system responses during COVID-19. The toolkit can be used by individual policy makers or teams at the local, regional or national level to shape the implementation of their education response strategies.
The document discusses using emerging technologies like social media, multimedia sharing, and mobile technologies to enhance learning center services and student engagement. It notes that while students expect technology, face-to-face interaction is still important. Learning center professionals need to leverage technologies to deliver services, create resources, train staff, and evaluate their centers in a blended approach. The document provides an overview of a conference session on implementing various technologies in learning centers.
