Effective Retention Strategies
How can instructors become aware of effective retention strategies for use in their classes?
Instructors can talk to seasoned instructors on what works in their classroom.
For online instructors, sending a personalized greeting to each and every student has been a proven element in keeping retention numbers high.
Instructors can also research new and different strategies based on adult learning theories.
Hi Juanita,
Student learning groups can have a real impact on knowledge acquisition and application. Good to hear about the success you are having with your student group assignments. The exchange of information and social interaction really help the students with value added learning.

I have found that having assignments with team work involved increased the retention rate. The students made sure that each member of their team was present and each person contributed to what had to be done.
