Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System

Where we’re headed today…
Our Context - UNT Early Alert as a Concept Project Scope (the tech-y part) Building Advocacy Functionality

Please respond to the following:
Describe your institution:A. Public or PrivateB. Two-year or Four-yearC. Small (999 and below), Medium
(1,000 – 4,999), Large (5,000 – 24,999), Mega (25,000 and up)

![Page 6: Dale R. Tampke – Dean, Undergraduate Studies, University of North Texas dale.tampke@unt.edu Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfae1a28abf838c9c9dc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Early Alert concept
Grounded in literature on undergraduate retention Student behavior can predict attrition Early intervention can change outcomes
First efforts were course-centered Poor performance Excessive absences
(Think “mid-term” grades)
![Page 7: Dale R. Tampke – Dean, Undergraduate Studies, University of North Texas dale.tampke@unt.edu Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfae1a28abf838c9c9dc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Early Alert progresses…
Expansion to campus-wide availability Include psycho-social concerns Web front end E-mail back end Authentication varies Integration varies
A common issue: How many faculty use the system?
![Page 8: Dale R. Tampke – Dean, Undergraduate Studies, University of North Texas dale.tampke@unt.edu Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfae1a28abf838c9c9dc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Our idea:
Integrate with student information system
We could build it ourselves Start with a focus on faculty (make it
easy for them) Designate a central receiver of the data Expand beyond “academic” issues Have a ready referral Begin a personal, caring conversation
![Page 9: Dale R. Tampke – Dean, Undergraduate Studies, University of North Texas dale.tampke@unt.edu Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfae1a28abf838c9c9dc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Here’s a question:
What stakeholders would you need to include to implement an
Early Alert system on your campus?
![Page 10: Dale R. Tampke – Dean, Undergraduate Studies, University of North Texas dale.tampke@unt.edu Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfae1a28abf838c9c9dc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Building Advocacy
Include stakeholders Students (8 from office staffs) Faculty (12 from Arts and Sciences) Academic Advisors (10 from all colleges) Student Services (15 areas) IT
Get feedback at the conceptual stage Be ready to adopt a good idea Create a faculty test group
![Page 11: Dale R. Tampke – Dean, Undergraduate Studies, University of North Texas dale.tampke@unt.edu Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfae1a28abf838c9c9dc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Things to ask (examples)
Issues that affect student performance User access to the system Information a user would need to know
about a student How and whether to inform the student of
the alert Security and permissions Real time or batch processing Reporting (programmed, ad hoc, or both?)
![Page 12: Dale R. Tampke – Dean, Undergraduate Studies, University of North Texas dale.tampke@unt.edu Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfae1a28abf838c9c9dc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Aspects of the system
Secure – authentication required Campus wide access Easy for faculty to use
Menu-driven Minimal information about the student needed
Ability to inform referred student via e-mail Timely Real-time ad hoc query capability Nightly reporting Completed in six weeks by one programmer
![Page 13: Dale R. Tampke – Dean, Undergraduate Studies, University of North Texas dale.tampke@unt.edu Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfae1a28abf838c9c9dc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A question…
What student issues would be included in a drop-down menu on
an Early Alert system at your campus?
![Page 14: Dale R. Tampke – Dean, Undergraduate Studies, University of North Texas dale.tampke@unt.edu Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfae1a28abf838c9c9dc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Reasons for Referral(what’s on the drop down menu)
Poor class attendance Poor performance on
quizzes/exams Poor performance on
writing assignments Does not participate in
class Difficulty completing
assignments Difficulty with reading Difficulty with math Sudden decline in
academic performance Concerns about their major
College adjustment issues
Financial problems Physical health
concerns Mental health concerns Alcohol or substance
use concerns Roommate difficulty Disruptive behavior Absent from work Student needs veterans
assistance Other concerns (text

![Page 15: Dale R. Tampke – Dean, Undergraduate Studies, University of North Texas dale.tampke@unt.edu Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfae1a28abf838c9c9dc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How Early Alert works
EARS 1.0 (early alert referral system) is available from the on-line class roll
Instructors of record receive an e-mail reminding them of EARS at the beginning of the term
Accessed through the faculty portal (The “Faculty Center”)
Nightly report delivered to a central office (Student Academic Readiness Team – START)
Follow up within one day of receiving
![Page 16: Dale R. Tampke – Dean, Undergraduate Studies, University of North Texas dale.tampke@unt.edu Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfae1a28abf838c9c9dc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Other features
Relationship to student Professor, instructor Teaching assistant, teaching fellow Academic Advisor Mentor Department administrator Campus Employer Club, organization advisor
“I have had a conversation with the student”
Send a copy of the referral to the student (via e-mail)
![Page 17: Dale R. Tampke – Dean, Undergraduate Studies, University of North Texas dale.tampke@unt.edu Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfae1a28abf838c9c9dc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Another question…
How would access to alert records be determined on your campus?
Consider academic advisors, student services staff, faculty,
clerical staff, others?
![Page 18: Dale R. Tampke – Dean, Undergraduate Studies, University of North Texas dale.tampke@unt.edu Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfae1a28abf838c9c9dc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Accessing Early Alert
From the Faculty Center in the Student Information System
![Page 19: Dale R. Tampke – Dean, Undergraduate Studies, University of North Texas dale.tampke@unt.edu Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfae1a28abf838c9c9dc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Making the system better – EARS 2.0
Available to all staff via web portal Immediate e-mail communication
To referrers To service providers To students
Real-time referral based on alert type Improved outcome tracking using
workflow Batch uploads (at-risk students)

Responder notes…
Responders can add an infinite number of “Alert Notes” to track conversations / referrals they have made for each student. Each note will be time / date stamped and include Advisors’ EUID and name.
![Page 45: Dale R. Tampke – Dean, Undergraduate Studies, University of North Texas dale.tampke@unt.edu Developing and Implementing a Web-Based Early Alert System](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5697bfae1a28abf838c9c9dc/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Assessment data…
Advisor / Responder contacts student
Advisor / Responder creates notes / adds additional notes.
Advisor / Responder “completes” Alert only if student completes prescribed intervention.

What we’ve learned
1. Including faculty in the design was critical2. Linking to class roll, self-populating made it easier for
faculty to use3. Faculty generally focus on course-related issues4. Personal faculty contact is the most effective follow-up5. E-mail contact by itself is not effective6. Some positive effect on success and persistence based
on type of contact7. Timing of alert has no apparent effect on success or
persistence8. Tracking confirmed contacts needs improvement9. EARS is not a “large class” solution
