Description:
With advances in technology, college and university administrators have adopted platforms to track students’ progress toward successful completion of courses and degrees. The Starfish Retention System offers an early alert system that promises to provide data points for faculty, students, and support staff for timely intervention and improved student persistence. Any technological system should be integrated into the existing scholarly practice of academic advising and its established tradition, norms, and expectations. The researcher examines the effects of this integration at three different campuses of at a public four-year institution. In this qualitative study, I explored the evolution associated with the platform’s integration and the impact made on the existing advising practices. Based on interviews conducted with student support staff, the goal of this research included developing themes related to this amalgamation. Moreover, this study employed a critical lens to assess the transition to technologized advising.
