Exploring online learning best practices to improve retention and success strategies for supporting online management students in rural or remote regions

It is no great surprise to management educators that retention and employability are key to success. The rapid growth of online education compounded with retention, employability and geographical accessibility underscores the need for further discourse. To explore and expand understanding, we employ action learning and Lego SeriousPlay. Our aim is to utilise the opportunity of management educators coming together in a tactile interactive session to break down assumptions, create new ideas through sharing and pushing boundaries. We anticipate improvement in awareness; new conversations and partnerships with the focus of exploring strategies to support online management students in remote regions.
