Dignity Health Global Education
The Opportunity:
Dignity Health Global Education offers professional development and higher education courses that have been created specifically for healthcare.
The Solution:
DHGE's Chief Learning Officer explains, "We engage learners in leadership topics asynchronously for the duration of these programs through Yellowdig. In and around these learning components which include, interactive lessons, exercises, live events, etc., Yellowdig is that connective tissue that exists between all of those things to keep learners engaged and allow them to collaborate in a social way with their peers, mentors, facilitators.”
The Results:
He elaborates, "Where Yellowdig is important to me in this process, in terms of KPIs and understanding the learning that’s occurring, is that it’s designed for an education setting, so you can get the data back in an educational context through an educational lens…We can then look at all the interaction data that’s occurring between people in that space and be able to assess the true effectiveness of the collaboration and sharing that’s going on in the learning process.”

Online Education Services
Welcome Community
The Opportunity:
OES's university partner delivers online learning for students, most of whom are mature age and studying part-time, often for the first time.
The Solution:
They created a welcome community open to all students at OES's partner institution. Participation is optional and aims to facilitate informal discussion between students outside of the classroom.
The Results:
A 9% increase in pass rates and a 7% increase in students progressing into their next study period, amongst the high-risk students. Students observed in this study used Yellowdig Engage to build interpersonal connections that eased their anxieties around their studies, created a sense of community, and set them up for academic success.
