Set Students Up For Success
Setting students up for success starting Week 1.
We recommend:
- Asking students to review Succeeding with Waymaker as Week 0 or Week 1 of your course.
- Writing an announcement in your LMS with this Student Video of Study Plan navigation. Here is an announcement you can repurpose for your course. Click on "Copy link" in the upper-right hand corner of the videos for the URLs.
Dear students,
Please take the time during our first week of class to review the Succeeding with Waymaker module. To help with your studies, here is a video on navigating the Study Plans.
Your participation grade will be awarded once you have completed the Self Check inside the Dive In tiles. How do you know you've completed it? You will see a green checkmark ✅ and the word "Done."
To ensure that you receive full credit, here is short a video that guides you through the process:
Set up the Student Engagement Center
We have a video that walks you through setting up and using your Student Engagement center.
Check your Student Engagement Center
Automated messages are sent to students on your behalf for students needing positive reinforcement or study tips. The same type of message will not go out to a student more than once every 2 weeks. At-risk students must be messaged by you from your Engagement Center tab.
You can see student completion of Self Checks through the Student History view:
You can identify and message at-risk students in need of Time-Sensitive Interventions.
Use Waymaker data to support students
Use the data in Waymaker to help support you and your students. You will have data available in the Study Plan, Student Engagement Center, and on Quizzes. The video gives a quick walkthrough of where to find this data.
