Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A.I. in the Classroom with Anna Mills
Q: Unpack this pair process, break it down for us.
The idea is to bring AI feedback in for AI literacy and writing support, keep the human in the loop with instructors and peers, start with AI literacy materials, then combine peer feedback with AI feedback, and have students reflect on what they used and why to nurture metacognition.
Reengaging Students Lost Before the Census Date with Dr. Rita Karam
Q: What actionable recommendations did the study offer to institutions?
Recommendations include streamlining onboarding, clarifying staff handoffs with named contacts, expanding early data collection on students' basic needs, implementing early alerts in the first week, using two-way text communications, expanding advisor capacity, and tailoring communications by student population; the study also highlights potential roles for AI as an advisor support tool rather than a replacement.
Reengaging Students Lost Before the Census Date with Dr. Rita Karam
Q: What were the main findings about where losses occur in the onboarding process?
The study found that most losses occur across onboarding stages from application to enrollment and before census, with financial aid timing and staff handoffs identified as key friction points; many colleges lack integrated data systems to track students across stages.
