If schools were wondering whether student success tools are worth the investment, a survey among students by Educause has put the question to rest. Students rated degree audit tools that show the degree requirements completed as the most useful (ranked by 80 percent of respondents as "very" or "extremely" useful).

I think the biggest challenge is how badly distance education is misunderstood. Online education isn’t something new; it’s a natural extension of classic DE theory. It’s also far from a second-rate activity. DE can be – and ought to be – every bit as effective than on-campus education in terms of student outcomes and academic achievement. Where that’s not the case, odds are that DE is being practiced poorly. DE is difficult to do well, and it takes what Michael G Moore and Greg Kearsley identified in 1996 as a ‘systems approach’. In other words, it’s not enough to just offer some courses at a distance. The entire organisation needs to be oriented around and dedicated to the success of the distance student. DE done poorly does not reflect a systems approach.

When black students at the University of Michigan took to Twitter several years ago to critique campus policies and culture, one tweet in particular caught the attention of college administrators. The post (perhaps one like this) described how alienating and awkward it can feel for a student to show up to class without a laptop. The university doesn’t require all students to own personal computers, yet many do, using them frequently during lectures to take notes or follow along with readings. “With professors saying ‘Everyone take out your laptop,’ it was not an inclusive environment. It wasn’t equitable,” says Susan Perreault, director of student recruitment for the university’s College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. So the dean asked Perreault and Gretchen Kopmanis, technology services office manager and Mac team lead, to devise a pilot program that would help low-income students get access to laptops—and maybe even improve their enrollment and retention rates, too.
