Delivering Adaptive, Multi-Channel Support at Scale

In this 30 minute presentation, InsideTrack’s Research Programs Director will introduce the concept of adaptive student support and provide research-based examples of how multi-channel communication and nudge principles can help improve student outcomes. Attendees will gain an understanding of emerging insights and best practices, including a framework for analytics, as well as practical solutions to bring back to their institutions. Finally, real-life examples of multi-channel student interactions will bring to life what’s possible in efforts to deliver mass-customization.
