Improving Student Success: How Student Success is Impacted by their Participation In Class and Online
Abstract (300 words maximum)
The purpose of this research is to examine the relationships between student success outcomes and their participation in class and in the online platform Desire2Learn (D2L). This IRB approved project analyzes students of a fully in-person Introduction to Sociology course. This class also makes significant use of D2L in its assessments and engagement with students. The data will be collected through an online survey administered to the students midway through the semester. Additional granular data about student behavior online will also be collected with individual approval. Currently, no data has been collected, but will by the time the KSU Symposium takes place. The findings of this study will provide insight into how students’ grades are affected by factors relevant to their life and schooling. These results will provide insight into what may help improve student outcomes.
