MAP-Works

MAP-Works is a retention computer program that helps with student success. It helps us better reach our at risk students, it also includes tools so that the faculty and peer educators can better communicate in a efficient way. There are many benefits to working with this program, students sometimes are hesitant to admit they are struggling whether it be in school or in their personal lives. When a student signs up for WU 101 they are automatically put into the system, students take an array of surveys to gauge their study habits, academic confidence and social issues and concerns. MAP-Works also has a risk indicator it goes from green, yellow, red and double red. Green means the students is a low risk and double red means the student is at very high risk of being unsuccessful. MAP- Works is an extremely beneficial program to peer educators and faculty at Washburn.
