CHICAGO, Nov. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Everspring
Inc., a leading provider of higher education technology solutions
and services to universities seeking to build or expand their
online capabilities, will host a fireside chat at the 2021 CAEL
Annual Conference in San Diego
November 18. Rod Smith, PhD, director of business graduate
programs at California State University Long
Beach (CSULB), and Kathy
Groth, vice president of learning design at Everspring, will
discuss best practices for building highly engaging programs for
adult learners.
In the session, entitled "Building a Better Blueprint: Designing
Best-in-Class Programs for Today's Learners," Smith and Groth will
share how Everspring and CSULB are working together to build a
framework for a leading online MBA program that prioritizes
meaningful student engagement.
CSULB recognized an opportunity to redesign its online MBA to
offer a more engaging student experience and expand the reach of
the program to a wider audience. The team at CSULB partnered with
Everspring for course design consultation to build courses that
enhance the student experience while remaining aligned with the
faculty's expertise.
Everspring's expertise in learning design brings faculty-driven
content to life online. The result is courses and programs that
exceed the high expectations of students and faculty, with student
and faculty satisfaction scores that are routinely in the mid to
high 90% range, persistence rates that meet or beat on-campus
completion, and outstanding student and faculty reviews that
enhance the university's brand and reputation.
"Strong engagement and student outcomes are cornerstones that
drive our learning design approach at Everspring," says
Kathy Groth, vice president of
learning design at Everspring. "Our goal with our partners at CSULB
was to enable more student-to-student and student-to-faculty
engagement while ensuring consistency across MBA cohorts."
The speakers will discuss how applying online learning and
instructional design best practices promoted strong student
engagement and outcomes while streamlining teaching requirements.
They will also speak on the importance of measuring ongoing program
performance to ensure continued innovation and student success.
