Improving student success is a challenge faced by many colleges and universities across the country and commands innovative solutions. Portland State University (PSU) embraced this challenge and deployed a comprehensive approach to tackling the issues. Leveraging a collaborative design methodology, PSU invested in community engagement sessions, student surveys, one-on-one interviews, best practices research, and internal PSU data to identify key pain points in the students’ journey.

PSU is now implementing a portfolio of initiatives to improve student services with the focus of enhancing the student experience and fostering student success.

PSU has forged an innovative public-private partnership with Barnes & Noble Education to co-develop an interactive degree planner. The partners will share their findings and debut their emerging vision for degree planning including:

  *   How Portland State University (PSU) has applied collaborative design to improve student success.
  *   The keys to productive partnerships to transform insights into actual solutions for higher ed.
  *   Improving degree planning for students and advisors with interactivity and data integration.
Presenters:

  *   Hans VanDerSchaaf, Director, Projects; Office of Student Success, Portland State University
  *   Sébastien Trolez, Director, Products for Student Success, BNED LoudCloud


OLC and WCET explored several issues on which they could partner to better serve our membership communities. Assuring the accessibility in courses, websites, student services, and all communications rose to the top as many are still confused as to what is required and how to address those needs.

This webcast kicks-off a series of jointly-sponsored events and activities focused on accessibility issues. Beginning with a conversation about questions we hear about serving those with disabilities and the far-reaching benefits that accrue from doing so. Ample time will be available to field questions from webcast attendees.

Presenters:

  *   Kelly Hermann, VP for Accessibility and Disability Strategy, University of Phoenix
  *   Mark Jenkins, Director, elearning and Open Education, SBCTC.EDU, WA State Board for Community and Technical College
  *   Jennifer Rafferty, Director of the Institute, OLC
