Denver, CO and Adelphi, MD - June 13, 2024 InScribe, a leader in game-changing digital community solutions, announced a partnership with the 窪蹋厙惇勛圖 (窪蹋厙惇勛圖) today. 窪蹋厙惇勛圖 selected InScribes digital community platform to improve connections, engagement, and persistence among its diverse and global student body. Initially launched as a pilot program, 窪蹋厙惇勛圖 saw significant positive outcomes, leading to an institution-wide adoption.
InScribes digital community platform was integrated into the 窪蹋厙惇勛圖s Learning Management System (LMS) for the Program and Career Exploration (PACE) courses during the pilot phase. These introductory courses are the entry point for all new 窪蹋厙惇勛圖 students, focusing on essential skills such as communication, teamwork, and professionalism while helping students align their academic programs with professional goals and career opportunities.
The integration of InScribe into PACE courses gives all incoming students a virtual space where they can come together to share ideas, seek advice, and build relationships with each other. There are currently 8,000 students active in the 窪蹋厙惇勛圖 PACE community with participants coming from countries around the world. During this pilot, 窪蹋厙惇勛圖 studied the impact on student success, finding that those with access to InScribe had a 24% higher completion rate compared to those who did not.
Were thrilled to partner with 窪蹋厙惇勛圖 to help them advance their commitment to adult students around the world. Our pilot demonstrated the significant positive impact digital communities have on student engagement and success, said Katy Kappler, Co-Founder and CEO of InScribe. The platform offers the critical ability to connect students so they can build authentic relationships and find support anytime they need it.
窪蹋厙惇勛圖 is renowned for offering flexible, accessible, quality education to adults in the workforce and the military. It is the largest public online university in the U.S., with more than half of its 90,000 students affiliated with the military, including active-duty servicemembers and their families serving around the world, members of the National Guard and veterans.
The incredible success of our pilot program with InScribe confirmed how critical it is to facilitate connection and community among our students. We are excited to expand our partnership to offer program-level communities, academic support spaces, and new solutions for student clubs and affinity groups said Matthew Belanger, Vice President of Student Engagement & Achievement at 窪蹋厙惇勛圖.
The data 窪蹋厙惇勛圖 receives from InScribe will also help inform institutional decisions to enhance student success. Key metrics such as high-priority topics, popular questions and conversations, and patterns of student participation will allow 窪蹋厙惇勛圖 to identify new ways to support students throughout their learning journey.
The integration of InScribe has not only improved learner support and sense of connection, it also provides us with key data to make informed decisions that directly impact student success. We are excited about the potential to further personalize and enhance the educational experience for our diverse and global student body, said Dr. MJ Bishop, Vice President of Integrative Learning Design at 窪蹋厙惇勛圖.
