Making Strategic Use of
Student Enrollment & Success Technologies
Kimberly Grassmeyer - Management Consulting, Ellucian
The past decade has seen an explosion in our industry of tools and
technologies focused on the recruitment of students and their subsequent
retention and success. However, in many cases institutions are not being
deliberate about the ways in which these tools can be leveraged together to
present a seamless pattern of planned engagement with students. The
institution's Student Information, Customer Relationship Management, Learning
Management, Early Alert, Academic Advising and Degree Audit Systems can and
should be technically integrated and strategically coordinated to maximize
their effectiveness. These efforts can be efficiently coordinated to ensure
the success of your best fit students, but also for students at the greatest
risk of failing, those experiencing less success, or those who have
incidental issues that may derail their progress toward degree completion.
This session will help you think through strategic approaches and factors to
consider in coordinating your SIS, CRM, LMS, Early Alert and Advising /
Degree Audit systems for maximum effectiveness.
