Celebrating Innovation in Access, Retention and Assessment in Distance Learning <\/strong><\/p>\n

Education to Promote Hispanic Student Success in Higher Education<\/strong><\/p>\n

January 15\u00a0 – February 6,\u00a0 2015<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hispanic Educational Technology Services Consortium (HETS) would like to highlight and celebrate the outstanding work of its member institutions in meaningfully and strategically using technology to achieve Hispanic student success. Taking place in January- February,\u00a0 2015<\/strong>, the 2015 Virtual HETS Best Practices Showcase will focus on three main tracks<\/strong>: Retention and Assessment efforts in Distance Learning<\/strong>, Equivalence<\/strong>, and Authentication in Distance Learning Education for Hispanics<\/strong>. These topics were identified through the survey HETS office sent to all key contacts at member institutions, and Board meetings<\/span> discussions. This event will be a combination of live and asynchronous online presentations<\/strong> with forums to interact with presenters and participants.<\/p>\n

HETS has defined a \u201cbest practice\u201d as an innovative approach or strategy<\/strong> that, with the effective use of technology, has proven to increase recruitment, promote student success, improve student retention and completion, and provide institutions with viable, effective, and efficient approaches to assessment in Distance Learning courses or programs<\/strong>. Overall, it will be a showcase of innovative technology strategies in Higher Education focused on impacting the Hispanic student population by enhancing retention, college completion, and successful learning outcomes.<\/p>\n

Certainly, HETS member institutions are experts in dealing with the Hispanic population and finding ways to provide them with opportunities to succeed<\/strong>. and we want to open a space for them to share this expertise. Once again, online participants<\/strong> will be not only able to learn from the showcased works, but also find solutions to many common issues and even establish new possibilities for collaboration with other institutions and potential partners.<\/p>\n

Date and Location<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2015 Virtual HETS Best Practices Showcase will take place starting January\u00a0 15 to February, 2015<\/strong> totally online <\/strong>and will be a combination of live presentations and uploaded ones.<\/p>\n
