Leveraging results from two courses (four sections, 824 students) in spring 2014, the project will continue to analyze multiple data sources to identify students potentially at-risk of failing high demand, large enrollment courses. Interventions will be conducted with flagged students with targeted suggestions to improve their course achievement. This intervention will be designed as an experimental study using a design research approach, which enables a rigorous assessment of the impact of the project while adapting for the realities encountered while conducting the experimental intervention. For the 2014-2015 AY, we have commitments from faculty teaching 12 course sections, with a potential impact of over 4,000 students, to participate in the project. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style>The SDSU Spring 2014 study was able to predict over 50% of the variation in student final grade, and interventions had a statistically significant impact with Pell-eligible students in one course subject (Psychology). This year, the project will dedicate effort on designing more robust interventions with potential to impact a larger student population. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style>The faculty teaching the courses will be actively engaged in creating triggers of low achievement and interpreting results from the project. The proposed project will investigate data about student achievement as influenced by weekly faculty outreach to students based in indicators of low achievement provided through Bb Learn, publisher materials, <span style="font-family:"Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"">“</span>clicker<span style="font-family:"Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"">”</span> use, and other academic technologies that are used to support learning in the courses. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style>In addition to data recorded by academic technology, data will be analyzed from Bb Learn, student self-reported time on task surveys, student demographic data, prior academic achievement, interviews with faculty/advisors, and surveys with students.
