Student Success is something every student and institution should strive for, and when it is achieved, it should be celebrated and shouted from the rooftops! Studies have shown that recognising and celebrating student success can help improve several aspects of student life. Cultivating and curating a culture of success within your institution builds confidence and motivates students to continue and thrive in their studies.

Why do we need to celebrate learning?

Celebrating success has a significant and positive impact on the student’s experience during their time at your institution. Celebrating success in the right way can, in turn, create success. It can propel students further into their academic journey while instilling an environment of engagement with learning, a want to learn and a commitment to succeed.

How to celebrate student success effectively

To create an environment which breeds success, the key is to praise hard work and effort rather than individual ability. This allows all students to believe they can achieve success.

Showing that success is possible for all students can be achieved in several ways. Case studies, infographics, newsletters, and social media are all viable ways the success stories can be shared. But getting these messages out effectively across all of these channels of communication can often be a time-consuming task. 

This is where your handy campus mobile application comes in. Your institution’s mobile app has everything you need to facilitate your communications as it allows you and your students to manage all aspects of college and university life directly from their smartphones.

Using the mobile app will provide you with all the tools needed to make sure examples of the success your institution is experiencing are clearly visible and accessible. The ease in which you communicate with your students through these platforms is what the majority of educational institutions are turning to and embracing them. Technology such as mobile applications is constantly evolving and every time it does it improves how you can deliver a better student experience. 

Mobile-first approach

Everything within your mobile-first approach must be designed to provide the elements needed for students to achieve success. Top-quality communications and support structures can be implemented to allow progression, improve engagement and maintain student retention. 

The use of technology aiding education is nothing new, but the rise in technological dependence in the post-pandemic world of hybrid learning has made it an essential tool. The continuous advancements in smartphone technology and the accessibility to the latest models has resulted in nearly every student using their smartphone for everything from ordering food to checking timetables. For example, students within the Gen Z category spend 8-10 hours a day on their smartphones with 78% of users considering their mobile device as the primary source of communication.

This digital environment within your institution gives you everything you need to connect and stay connected with your students while providing them with all of the tools needed to engage and succeed.
