ECoach is a digital platform that was originally developed by a research team led by Timothy McKay, professor of physics, astronomy, and education, to create a tailored communication system for introductory large-scale courses at U-M. ECoach provides personalized and timely feedback to students on how to succeed with content informed by behavioral science techniques such as motivational affirmation and multiple data streams, as well as input from students. This digital tool provides students with tailored communication, insights into their progress, and ways to approach common obstacles. In the past few years, this electronic personal coaching platform has grown immensely and its use continues to expand. Check out the ECoach infographic from Michigan Online:
