Transformative Education 2.0 – Road Map Foundations
Road Map Foundations: Propelling Student Success
This project will focus on enhancing key areas of our student success systems:
- Improve student metrics such as 4- and 6-year graduation rates, and at-risk and STEM retention and graduation rates.
- Data Visualization of degree plans to show curriculum paths and student trajectory. Students will be able to plan and pursue majors, minors, certificates, and experiential education opportunities in a way that is not possible today. Advisors will be able to better assist students and the university will be able to project course demand for instructional and space planning.
- A streamlined process for both transfer and CODO students with transparent guidelines to reduce barriers for students and reduce steps for advisors and other student facing offices.
- Real-time strategic communication/engagement with students driven by data. Students will receive targeted communication within the student systems they live in.
- Students will have enhanced access to information via data dashboards to assist in self-support of their academic success/progress. Advisors and faculty also will have access to real-time dashboards allowing “just-in-time” student support actions. Executives will have access to dashboards showing student trends and patterns, allowing tactical and targeted adjustments throughout the semester.
Strategic Expansion of Experiential Education – Innovation College
This project will focus on increasing the quantity of experiential education opportunities, the quality of these experiences and the equity of these experiences.
- Build a comprehensive approach to track and assess experiential learning
- Expand experiential learning opportunities where appropriate.
- Bring career relevant work/internships to campus and help students to take campus with them to career-relevant work while pursuing their degree.
- Enhance student reflection on the transformative experiential educational experiences they have encountered as a Purdue student.
- Goal: every Purdue graduate has at least one high impact learning experience upon graduation.
Enhancing Student Learning and Classroom Engagement at Scale – Innovation College
This project will focus on creating technology and pedagogy to help redefine the residential student experience at scale:
- Student Assessment: artificial intelligence (AI) supported student formative assessment and feedback.
- Personalized Learning: artificial intelligence (AI) supported personalized learning and adaptive teaching.
- Faculty Productivity: artificial intelligence (AI) teaching assistants.
- Adaptive Learning and Teaching: adaptive testing algorithm development.
- Enhanced Active/Experiential Learning: augmented reality (AR) to enhance active learning in an in-person classroom.
- Virtual Laboratories Experiences: develop additional opportunities to create virtual labs.
- Enhancement of Online Learning Experiences: virtual reality (VR) enabling active/experiential learning in online courses.
