BSG - Persistence of the Adult Learner

Tina Stavredes
35 months ago

This seminar will address the issue of student retention and the factors that contribute to student attrition in non-traditional adults populations who are in distance education programs. In this presentation I will define terminology used in the discussion of retention and discuss theoretical models of persistence as well as those relating specifically to non-traditional students in distance education environments. Finally, I will present strategies to decrease attrition and help students persist. The outcome of this seminar will be an understanding of attrition and strategies to assist institutions in planning interventions to address student dropouts and increase persistence.
