Using Student Mentors to support at risk eLearning students
Stephanie Delaney, Cascadia Community College, Bothell, WA, USA, sdelaney@cascadia.edu

What would happen if at risk students registered for online and hybrid courses were given the support of a student mentor for the first 2 weeks of the term? Would they be more likely to persist? To "succeed"?

We experimented with that idea at Cascadia community College and at this presentation, you'll learn all about the program, the types of students selected to participate and the results after 3 quarters of mentor activity.
