The Career and Technical Education Robo Recruiter was designed as an outreach mechanism to attract prospective students for CTE Programs, specifically prospective students in special populations and nontraditional gender fields. The goal is to enhance awareness of Associate of Applied Science Degree program offerings at the Blinn College District while providing labor market information regarding these career fields. The Robo Recruiter has an engaging interface which students can select the career option they want to explore. Labor market information regarding the career and training available at Blinn will be provided through the interface. The students will also have the option to provide contact information and connect with a Blinn advisor directly from the Robo Recruiter. The Robo Recruiter interface is held by a mannequin dressed in attire representing a CTE field.

eCampus Student Orientation

The eCampus Student Orientation is an online training in the use of Blinn’s learning management system (LMS). Designed to help students achieve technological efficacy and allow faculty to concentrate on teaching content rather than use of the LMS, the training is housed as a standalone course on the LMS. Many faculty require completion of the training, especially for students in their online classes. The course consists of 10 modules on all aspects of the LMS and related software programs. Students cannot advance to subsequent modules until they successfully complete a quiz or application activity. When fully completed, students receive a certificate and need not take the course again.

DELIVERY FORMAT: The program is online only.

PROGRAM SCALE: Large-scale (reaches more than 25 percent of its intended target population)

APPROXIMATE PARTICIPANTS SERVED IN 2021-22: 4200

HOW TO ENROLL: All stakeholders have access to this program. As such, there is no enrollment process

EVALUATION STATUS: Data related to program outcomes have been internally collected in the past

PRELIMINARY OUTCOMES DATA: In Spring 2021, the course success rate of students who completed the online orientation program was 75.3%, compared to a 62.7% success rate among students who did not complete the online orientation. In particular, economically disadvantaged students and students of color who participated in the program had higher rates of course success than their counterparts who did not participate in the online orientation program.
