15. Northwest Arkansas Community College • Aaron Divine - Learning Services Specialist, Title III • 8,000 students • Academic Advising Center and the Career Development Center • Students either self-select or referred electronically • Helps students identify both career and academic goals. • The Exploring Careers and Choosing a Major workshop saw a 48% declaration of major rate by students who had completed the workshop. Case Studies

16. University of Minnesota Duluth • Mary Keenan- Director, Enrollment Management • 11,500 students • Students In Transition (SIT), Residence Life, Masters in Social work (MSW) • SIT coordinates our freshman seminar - instructors often use workshops for in-class discussion or as homework; Residence Life uses within R.A. sponsored workshops; MSW requires all students to review the plagiarism workshop annually. • Students seem to be more likely to view the workshops at their own convenience rather than attend in-person workshops.  We previously offered in-person "student success" workshops on a weekly basis with very low participation rates.  Our view rates with StudentLingo are easily five-times our old attendance rates. Case Studies

17. The Ohio State University - Newark & Central Ohio Technical College • Ferdinand Avila-Medina- Learning Skills Specialist • 7,000 students • Department of Student Life - Office of the Learning Skills Specialist  • Primarily as a support tool to help students enhance study skills. Some instructors use the workshops as supplemental class material in developmental courses. Helps students identify both career and academic goals. • Student Lingo workshops provide an alternative for commuter students that normally can't meet in person with support staff (i.e. learning skills specialist) or attend live workshops. It also serves as "refresher" material for students who attend live workshops. Case Studies

18. South Arkansas Community College • Tammi McKinnon Career Pathways Initiative • 1800 students • Specifically for Career Pathways, we require the completion of one workshop/month as part of the requirements to receive any financial assistance.  Some instructors for the SouthArk Success (SAS) classes are beginning to require their students to complete workshops.Helps students identify both career and academic goals. • Career Pathways works primarily with non-traditional students, having SL workshops available online 24/7 prevents students from having to figure out how to schedule another time to come to campus for a “live” workshop.  We are able, with the reports, to document the completion of the workshops.  Students are able to get the much needed information at their convenience.  The workshops provide relevant information on a variety of subjects all in one place, and the workshops can be viewed multiple times as needed. Case Studies

19. Middle Tennessee State University • Layne Bryant- Resources Coordinator • 200 students per semester for two research oriented courses.Academic Advising Center and the Career Development Center • University College, is using StudentLingo, but we have plans to use the program more broadly in the future.Helps students identify both career and academic goals. • We assign the Plagiarism Tutorial at the beginning of the semester and students are then quizzed on the material the first week of class.  The courses using the service are research/writing intensive, and the tutorial helps alert us to potential issues before the students begin writing. Case Studies

29. “I learned different ways and techniques that I could use in order to improve my study habits. What I found most helpful was that I should not just memorize information, but learn to apply it and put the information in my own words.” “The most helpful strategy that I learned was the Cornell Style of note-Taking. Leaving extra space on the page and also leaving a page for book notes is really helpful and allows me to compare the professor's notes with the book notes. It provides further insight and allows me to truly expand on the subjects being taught to me.” Student Quotes
