Signals
A web-based assessment tool, Signals enables instructors to
identify at-risk students early in a semester and communicate
with these students to suggest changes they can make to their
study habits to avoid failing or withdrawing from the course.
BEST USES
• Automate indicators of student
performance and behavior to
encourage student success
• Establish expectations for
student performance in class and
provide feedback based on these
expectations
• Customize emails to all students
about their performance
• Direct students to available
resources on campus, such as the
instructor’s office hours, further
practice in study materials or help
sessions
• Provide consistent feedback so
students can continually monitor
their performance
PERKS
• When students log in to Blackboard
for a Signals course, they see a visual
representation of their progress in
class, a traffic signal. A red signal
indicates they are at risk of not
succeeding in the course. A yellow
signal tells students that, with a bit
more effort, they could be more
successful. A green signal shows
that, if they continue their study
practices, they are likely to complete
the course successfully.
• This system facilitates greater and
more frequent instructor-student
communication.
BONUS
In pilots of this system, students who
were struggling to succeed (yellow
signal) were more likely to seek out
additional help than those whose status
was at risk of being unsuccessful (red
signal).
