Week 5

Project Summary for Kurt

I anticipate taking this Blog project to the next level. I plan to introduce this Blog to both my new re-admit population of approximately 50 students as well as those continuing re-admit students, approximately 80 students, that are not off contract as of yet effective summer semester (8-week session) and then continue on through the fall.

I plan on posting once a week minimum. For my new students (fall semester) I am looking for a way to incoporate checking in on the blog as part of their university contract. I also hope to gather some information on how many semesters they have been out of school, number of hours per week they are working, number of hours they expect to study, through the poll feature.

Ultimately, I hope to have enough experience and data to incorporate my findings to further enhance a presentation that my colleague and I are planning to present on in early October in Chicago, IL and in Chyenne, WY next April. Our presentation focuses on the challenges and successes we have experienced over the last four years with regard to the re-admit student population at Utah State University.
