Tech Tip: Using Technology to Support Retention

A special issue (December) of Campus Technology includes an example-filled article on use of technology for enrollment management and retention. Pulling from diverse campuses as well as technology strategies, the article drives home a point made by one of the interviewees: no one can afford the human mentors it would take to retain students at the level that technology tools can do it.

Campus Technology is a free subscription magazine with choice of print or digital delivery. The Subscription link is easy to spot on virtually every web page and it's easy to fill out, too.

North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State U: Web site for SACS reaffirmation

As use of web sites for accreditation documentation has become more popular, institutions' efforts have become more sophisticated. North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NCAT) currently is displaying its compliance reports and myriad samples in preparation for its 2010 reaffirmation by SACS. The NCAT SACS Reaffirmation 2010 web site is extensive; it includes full explanation of the campus work (teams, timeline, etc.) leading up to the effort.

Like most SACS institutions that create web sites to document the process, this one includes a Document Library. Using PDF to full advantage, documents are accessible and can be printed easily, as well. Throughout the web site, "filters' are available in the fashion of search boxes. Many of the web pages also offer three option buttons of PDF, Print, and Email. Hyperlinks appear in most text to offer linking to pertinent documents or data.
