What is the average number of students who leave an online course?
I would like to know what is the average of abandonment of online classes ?. What is your experience?
Thanks,

Hi Milagros
In my experience of one year with ECPI the number of students who leave the on line classes is at around 15 % of initial registrations. However about 3 to 5 % of them come back on board on the following semester to repeat the class.
It also varies from semester to semester
Now, if we consider the students who fall very behind and finish with a very low grade, I can say this number is at 10 to 15 % area of the total students in the class.
Based on my experience I think that an mandatory initial orientation of new starters in the course before they start the course would help a lot to reduce this number
