The Health Information Technology (HIT) program at Davenport University is among the top-ranked programs of its kind. But facing lower retention and higher rates of student anxiety and depression, Davenport began studying strategies to increase student success. The University chose EduGuide because it was easy to plug into any course and provided a powerful way to identify students who might need extra academic or emotional support. It also increased persistence and resilience for all students.

Associate Dean Kelly McCarron analyzed two primary outcomes from EduGuide: lower rates of anxiety and depression, and increased persistence and resilience. McCarron reported that students in emotional or academic distress were identified faster, received help faster, and were able to rebound faster. These outcomes were evident even after just one semester of the program.
In an end-of-semester survey, 68% of participating students reported they were able to deal with stress and anxiety better because of EduGuide. Additionally, 95% of students reported that EduGuide helped them to build self-motivation, and 91% said the program made them more confident of being able to achieve their degree.
