Abstract
Achieving high levels of student retention and academic success are key goals in today’s higher education environment. Learn how Rasmussen College’s Library and Learning Services team identified opportunities for collaboration across departments, fostered partnerships with faculty subject matter experts and instructional designers, and successfully integrated selected resources into courses through the course development process. Perspectives from all parties including faculty and instructional designers will be shared. Methods used to assess the impact of these collaborative partnerships on student academic achievement and retention will also be discussed.
