Abstract
A retention management system identifies, analyzes, and evaluates student information collected by the enterprise resource planning systems and learning management systems. The retention management system applies an algorithm to collected information and locates students that are struggling before they are lost to attrition. The retention management system also provides tools to allow personnel at the academic institution to communicate with students, implement plans to correct current problems with student, and to predict and prevent future problems.
Claims30
A method of generating alert messages for an academic retention management system, the method comprising:
- determining risk factors associated with student attrition in the retention management system;
- accessing student information including values for the risk factors;
- automatically generating electronic alert messages for students in the retention management system based on the values.
A system for generating alert messages, comprising:
- a user interface that enables the setting of risk factors associated with student attrition in the retention management system;
- a retention management system that accesses student information including numerical values for the risk factors and automatically generates electronic alert messages for students based on the numerical values.
A method of generating alert messages for academic personnel using a retention management system, the method comprising:
- assigning thresholds to risk factors associated with student attrition in a retention management system;
- accessing student information from an enterprise resource planning system and/or a learning management system;
- comparing the student information against the thresholds and generating alerts for students if scores fall below a preset threshold;
- and
- displaying the alerts to academic personnel.
A system for generating alert messages for students at-risk for attrition, comprising:
- a user interface that enables the assignment of thresholds to risk factors associated with student attrition;
- a retention management system that accesses student information from an enterprise resource planning system and/or a learning management system and compares the student information against the thresholds and generating alerts for students if scores fall below a preset threshold, and displays the alerts to academic personnel.
