Project Goals

Content Development
Create and finalize the first set of microlearning videos (approximately 30) focused on essential academic skills, ensuring content is suitable for embedding within Canvas.
Tier 3 Deployment
Integrate Tier 3 resources (self-directed videos) within select LEAD and Explore courses, providing initial support to students and gathering usage data to inform content effectiveness.
Data Integration and Faculty Collaboration
Design Analytics Integrator 2.0 to embed the Flourishing Measure and metrics of engagement with the design elements of the active tier of service.
Assessment
Create a student-facing survey, using the questions from the Flourishing Measure (VanderWeele, 2017). Have students complete pre- and post-implementation of Tier 3 interventions.
Pilot and Evaluation
Engage an initial cohort of 500 LEAD students in pilot testing of Tier 3 engagement, measuring engagement (usage rates of Tier 3 resources, academic performance improvement, retention rates, and utilization of the Student Success Center and Academic Support Services), feedback, and early outcomes.
Formalize Communication Strategy
Develop and implement a communication plan, including a web presence, to inform students, faculty, and staff about the available resources developed and refined for Tier 3 and any updates made through iteration.
