Ever seen teenagers at a dance party? Self conscious, arms crossed, watching the dancefloor from afar. At the twitter party this has been us, until Today! Henceforth, WE DANCE! Expect regular updates on our work and research in understanding and improving student Retention. 🕺💃

@tom_worthington @timeshighered I don't think it's that simple (unfortunately). See below. Note that many of the students in these subjects had the type of assessment structure you described. Shout out 2 @BCakitaki and co for excellent @acsesedu report 'ghost student failure' in 2021. https://t.co/HKrxZBA5bu

[Retention Team @TeamRetention]

We're really happy to have some interest taken in some of our recently published research! 🙏

Universities must take a firmer hand with ‘zero-fail’ students, Australian study finds, amid policies to boost underprivileged participation

Interesting CSU paper on 'nudge' measures prior to the census date for at-risk students. Key point of interest for me was high fail rates among those students who, after the nudge, chose to remain enrolled. https://t.co/vv3k1zapIc

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. In our latest paper, discover how kindness-driven support fosters student success and enhances academic integrity. Transforming higher ed with kindness!! #EduKindness #AcademicSuccess #HigherEd https://t.co/mY7YxZn00x

Hot off the press! Interested to know what people think!

We think these zero-fails/NPEs need some consideration if we are to expand #HigherEd as the Accord outlines.

The AU Govt's new Support for Students Policy in #highered challenges univs to identify & support students at risk of failure early in studies. #JHEPM article by @Kellinden @neilvdp & Roman shows how it's done effectively at @CharlesSturtUni @atemassoc https://t.co/yyhNbJUhtJ

The Accord interim report is out! Our Embedded Tutors Program gets a mention on page 73. We now have a more up-to-date reference for anyone interested! #accordinsights

[Retention Team @TeamRetention]

Tuning into the #accordinsights panel. A lot of hope in the air with regards to equity in education! More students from non-traditional backgrounds will be attending - and completing - university in the future!

What’s the opposite of a black box? A white sphere? Either way, we’ve opted to leave the black box out of this one. Helping students pre-census using explainable learning analytics.
We hope sharing this work can lead to better outcomes for more students!

Action shot from CSEdX. We were chefs, working out of “The Retention Restaurant” serving up a data degustation. Our entrée (student failure) dragged on and we had to rush through our mains (Response to Student Protections Legislation) and dessert (Embedded Tutors Program)! 😜
