Examples of Data Gathering • Student enrollment • Drop rates • Student surveys • Quality Assurance Reports • D2L Data Analytics
Navigation Problems • Students “lost” • Not finding “Content Link” • Not visiting all Syllabus pages • Not visiting Homework page for unit assignments • Mobile device use
Solutions in New Design • Guide students through course • Streamlined Syllabus-one page • Streamlined Unit pages-one page • Quick links in Schedule to content and tools
Analytics – Syllabus hits • The single page design did not show an increased level of access compared to the component pages. • Surprisingly, the course policies page was more likely to be accessed in the multi-page design, despite being “buried” in other links.
Analytics – Unit page hits • The single page design showed an increased # of hits per item across both sections than the multi-page design. • But the multi-page design showed more total hits, as expected.
Timing of content access • Classes approximately the same size. • Daily hits to the content tool nearly unaffected by design.

Drop Rates and Retention Pass rate is a percentage of enrollment at census
Inconclusive • Students adjust • Students are the unknown • It’s not the answer that matters; it’s asking thequestions and the process of collaboration!

Prescribing a Plan • Team meeting • Communication • Clarify expectations • Outline follow-up plan • Provide additional resources as needed
