Analyzing Data on Student Engagement and Retention

[fraylanie]

When analyzing your school's Analytics/Data, what conceptual/theoretical framework(s) you use or develop to better understand your student's engagement and retention online? Do you have any recommendations on books, articles, research, etc. that you think useful when analyzing trends/behaviors of students online?

Looking forward to other replies, thanks for asking the question.

Hi, Theresa! I would like to connect with you on your directed study.

Hello  @fraylanie ‌...

I noticed that there hasn't been any new activity in this discussion topic for about two months, so I thought that I would check in with you.  While I don't necessarily have an answer for you, I reviewed your question, and it seems like there may be more than one possible answer.  So, I am going to change your "question" into a "discussion".  (A "question" typically has one "Correct" response.  A "discussion" is more open-ended and doesn't necessarily have a "Correct" response.)  I hope that's okay with you.  Looking forward to hearing from you, Fraylanie.

Absolutely! Thank you for converting this into a discussion to invite more responses. I look forward to other people''s responses. Thanks so much Chris!
