LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - Jan 10, 2012) -
Who:
Echo360's Fred Singer joins panelists from Parchment, Kaplan Test Prep and Macmillan New Ventures to discuss technology's role in not only courting students into enroll in degree seeking programs but to ensure their success through graduation.
Josh Fischman of The Chronicle of Higher Education will be moderating the panel.
What:
Fred Singer, and his fellow panelists, will explore modern challenges brought by the sophistication of educational 'online matchmakers.' These technological efficiencies are piquing student interest and driving enrollment to new levels.
As a result, the stress of enrollment is leading to academic fatigue and the inability of institutions to meet student demand. As such, technologies such as Echo360's blended learning platform are relied upon to deliver quality instruction and to help maximize a professor's time for individual support.
Topics include how technology resolves obstacles to graduation, pairs students with diverse cultural backgrounds to appropriate universities and improves student outcomes.
