This Drops, Failures and Withdrawals: Increasing Online Retention webinar was presented on April 15, 2011 by Raymond Rose, who works in online education and creates online learning communities. Online education has the reputation of having an ongoing problem with a high DFW (drop, failure, withdrawal) rate. The objective of this webinar is to address the reasons of DFW. Several main reasons for the high DFW rate are highlighted, including wrong expectations, technology problems, prerequisite problems, and pedagogy conflicts. In addition, the webinar provides guidance and strategies for course designers and instructors to help reduce DFW rates and make online learning more effective. With more than 15 years of experience in online education, Rose engages the audience in an interactive discussion that outlines the steps to reduce DFWs and engage online students to help them become successful learners. This webinar is accompanied by corresponding presentation slides.

The recorded webinar is 1:33:13 minutes in length.
