Effective strategies that will keep your online students coming back for more!
While most colleges and universities continue to see significant growth in the number of online courses and degree programs they offer, student retention rates are still lower than face-to-face offerings.
More and more students are turning to online programs because they offer the flexibility that many people need to accommodate family obligations, a full-time job, or anything else that makes it difficult to attend classes on campus. So why aren’t retention rates reflecting that easier access?
Enrollment in online courses and degree programs is definitely on the rise. But increased enrollment shouldn’t be your only goal. You also need to keep your students engaged in the courses you offer—and keep them coming back for more.
So why are retention rates lower for online than for face-to-face programs? What are the strategies you can use to hang on to more of your students? And how do you regularly measure retention rates to make sure you’re on the right track?
