Summer workshops scheduled for Starfish training

Tuesday, May 12, 2015

Starfish will replace Niner Advisor on 49er Express starting Sunday, June 28. This new system will allow instructors to notify their students systematically regarding their academic performance in their courses. Starfish is already integrated with Banner and Moodle for users.

Summer workshops will demonstrate how the Starfish system enables instructors to enter alerts on students in their courses to produce feedback on academic performance early in the academic term. Students are then alerted to follow up by connecting with the resources and personnel in their UNC Charlotte Success Network and Services catalog and discuss possible early intervention strategies with academic advisors who also are notified when alerts are raised. 

The Starfish system offers numerous robust features to help promote student success outcomes. Inquiry on various ways the system might be utilized to extend efforts in promoting student success is welcomed from workshop participants.

Niner Advisor will officially deactivate by 5 p.m. Friday, June 26.

Registration information and a schedule of workshop dates are on the Web.
