Developed a Purdue University in Indiana, Course Signals detects early warning signs and provides interventions to students who may not be performing to the best of their abilities before they reach a critical point. The Course Signals program works best when instructors want to provide individual feedback but don’t have a good way to do so, especially in large enrollment classes. With Course Signals, students are provided with customized feedback that can help them make informed decisions about their academic performance early in the semester.
