How WGU Scales Learning Support in General Education Courses Using Digital Communities

First year, GenEd classes are the gateway to an undergraduate degree. Yet, failure rates can be above 50%, having significant impacts on a student’s educational trajectory.

Creating a high-quality, effective online learning experience is not just about the content and the platform on which it is delivered. It is also about the scaffolding and support provided for students along the way. But educators can’t be available 24/7, and answering the same questions over and over each term isn’t the best use of a faculty member’s limited time. Still, timely access to support is critical to keeping students motivated and on track, especially when they are learning at a distance.

This video explores how Western Governors University general education courses are using InScribe digital communities coupled with MindEdge courseware to scale personalized support and increase success rates.

Attendees can expect to hear how WGU:

• designed their scaled support model.

• is maximizing the scalability of support while maintaining a personalized and approachable experience for students.

• is measuring the success and impact of learning communities.
