The first weeks of an online graduate program are pivotal. During this time, students form their initial impressions of the program, build relationships with peers, and begin to feel part of the academic community. Effective onboarding can foster long-term engagement, strengthen a sense of belonging, and set students up for success, while poor onboarding can lead to disengagement and attrition.
We deliver custom, app-based programs designed for student onboarding to promote relationship-building, positive behaviors, and cultivate a thriving online learning community.
Perfect for virtual learning environments, our programs help students integrate into their cohort from day one.
Minimal time commitment (2-5 minutes daily) makes it user-friendly and proven to deliver measurable results.
By focusing on building connections, encouraging positive behaviors, and fostering belonging, our program aligns with the elements that drive high student engagement and well-being.

"We know that isolation in online learning doesn’t just hurt student satisfaction. Such isolation also drives student attrition and further robs students of the chance to form meaningful relationships that grow more valuable over their careers. This isn’t just about keeping students enrolled; it’s about building a relationship with FIU that lasts a lifetime. By those standards, the Gamechangers program was a home run!”
