A student stops logging in. Stops submitting. Then disappears. Early alert systems can tell you who is struggling. They rarely tell you why. And they almost never tell you that the course itself created the conditions for struggle. That's the retention blind spot most institutions aren't talking about. When learning is scenario-based and applied, students don't just engage more. They persist. For online and hybrid learners who need a clear line between coursework and professional practice, course design isn't a curriculum question. It's a retention strategy. Lauren Dukes, Ed.D. and Alan Mlynek break this down in a new piece from Noodle. Link in comments.
