Purdue University has created a unique tool that allows students to know if they are in trouble in their classes. Called Signals, the program tracks students' academic progress, alerting them if they need help in certain areas. During a pilot phase, one faculty member said students who were flagged as needing help contacted him to improve grades. That, he said, rarely happened before.
