Attrition in online courses can be high. With standard semester census dates approaching, it\u2019s timely to look at what factors might help our online students stay in their studies.<\/p>\n<p>This study looked at an online topic where several revisions to improve retention had been made. Students were asked:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>How do you respond when you receive what you perceive to be a low grade on an assignment?<\/li>\n<li>What factors enable you to continue with the [topic]?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The four themes that emerged were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Challenges \u2013 specifically, time needed to manage and organise study, and balancing time between study and other commitments<\/li>\n<li>Persistence factors \u2013 these included tutor feedback, time management, motivation and self-belief<\/li>\n<li>Support \u2013 from many places, including \u2018institutional\u2019 supports such as tutors, student support teams, [topic] design. \u2018Emotional\u2019 supports like other students, friends, family and colleagues were also important<\/li>\n<li>Advice to future students \u2013 use time well by forward planning and reading ahead; make use of study guides and student supports.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The findings suggest that topic support (through good design and tutor communication and feedback), as well as support from family and friends, are particularly important in adapting to the challenges of online study.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That, and to \u2018just do it\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Full paper by J.
