IMPROVING THE USER EXPERIENCE IN YOUR FINANCIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMMING

Recorded March 12th, 2:00pm ET

Presenters: Phil Schuman, Director of Financial Literacy for Indiana University and Kate Wehner, Creative Strategist and Information Architect, Indiana University

With the complexity of the cost of college, determining how much a student will have to pay for a college education can be incredibly frustrating.

A collaboration through multiple offices, including the Bursar at Indiana University has led to a student cost calculator that both helps families estimate the total cost of college and encourages behavior changes to lessen the cost. Learn the features of the calculator, how it maximizes user experience and how your institution can implement a similar initiative.

Learning objectives:

• Discuss how attendees can improve student financial well-being by focusing on their technological capabilities
• Devise ways to utilize technology effectively to help students make more informed financial decisions
• Identify how attendees can create a more engaging user experience for their students when providing financial education
• Review how an institution went from a standard tuition calculator to a tool that is reimagining how students prepare themselves for the cost of college, and how small decisions can add up to a brighter financial future

This session will conclude with a group discussion and Q & A session.
