CollegeScope begins with a highly successful first-year seminar. The course combines an interactive, online textbook with classroom instruction, as well as statistically accurate assessments in motivation, personality type, and learning styles. CollegeScope empowers its students by giving them critical knowledge about themselves so they can take charge of their own success, while at the same time, providing college staff with the information they need to offer meaningful guidance and support.
Summary of Assessments
The first assessment addresses student motivation, perhaps the most critical factor affecting student success in college. The CollegeScope interactive program allows students to take the assessment online and immediately view their results.
The second assessment is the online version (a Human eSources exclusive license) of the Productivity Environmental Preference Survey (PEPS), the most accurate and most widely used learning style inventory in the post-secondary education community worldwide. First created at St. John's University in the mid-1970's, this tool measures twenty different learning preferences. Over the years, it has become the industry standard for identifying students' learning styles.
Finally, Human eSources' Do What You Are® Personality Type and Career Interest Assessment provides a statistically accurate representation of a student's personality type. It is currently the leading online personality type assessment in high schools worldwide. The post-secondary version is used extensively in colleges and universities throughout North America.
Summary of Seminar Content
The CollegeScope course content touches on every aspect of a college student's life, providing knowledge and strategies for success in areas such as:
 | Study habits |
| Test-taking strategies |
| Major selection |
| Personal relationships |
| Living a healthy lifestyle |
| Career planning |
While the typical college success seminar limits its focus to study habits and test-taking, CollegeScope is set apart by offering its students essential tools in both career and lifelong success, taking into consideration the changing needs of the job market and the role of its future workforce. Extensive research has shown that students who have a chosen major and specific career goals are more likely to persist in college during their first year.
With journal entries and quizzes along the way, CollegeScope is an individualized, interactive course that guides its participants in making the most of their years in college, shaping their experience in a way that makes the most sense for their values and future goals.
Student Information Management Tools
An essential component of CollegeScope is its database of student information. With our secure, easy to navigate, online management tools, authorized institution staff have real-time access to student information, enabling them to keep updated on their progress and quickly identify areas of concern. With the ability to review course progress, assessment reports, journal entries, and quiz results, college staff can ensure that each student is getting the right kind of support.
