White Paper – Students’ Perceptions of Academic Coaches in the Online RN to BSN Program

Teaching Assistants Working with Your Curriculum

Instructional Connections’ Academic Coaches play a crucial role in the online RN to BSN program by providing prompt feedback, overseeing discussion boards, assisting with grading, and notifying faculty about students who may need extra support. Their involvement has the potential to improve program completion rates, which is essential for addressing the nursing shortage. Students have expressed positive perceptions of the support provided by Academic Coaches, viewing them as valuable resources in their online learning journey.

students working on a Solid Distance Learning Model

During Dr. Dan Keast‘s presentation at the Distance Learning Administrator’s Conference in Jekyll Island, GA, he discussed his study of coaches’ perceptions of their efficacy in online courses. Most notably, he found that coaches see themselves as most effective in giving quality feedback and responses to students – a sentiment that rated higher than grading or anything else.  Communication was key.

Title: A study of activities and effective use as perceived by academic coaches in fully online higher education courses.

Summary: The study was designed to investigate the research gap regarding the roles of academic coaches in courses for professors and students, solicit the coaches’ perceptions about the efficacy of their tasks, and gather their suggestions for best utilizing an academic coach. The study revealed that among other traits academic coaches see themselves as most effective in giving quality feedback to students. Academic coaches believe that providing quality feedback leads to increased student success rates.
