This blog post explores survey results to see if students who use AI for their assignments feel they are able to learn and connect with classroom material, and whether they feel AI affects their writer's voice and ability to think critically.

This brief highlights findings from a rigorous long-term follow-up study of an early version of the DCMP model that found a sustained impact on students’ successful completion of their first college-level math course of 5.6 percentage points after five years.

This brief describes evidence showing that multiple measures assessment and corequisite remediation can improve outcomes for students assessed as needing remedial education, explains both practices, discusses surveys showing they are increasing nationally, and introduces a study on how they can work together.
Several recent research publications look at how reforms to the structure of developmental education combine with other reforms and supports to make a bigger difference for students. This blog shares resources to learn more about developmental education and transfer, developmental education and success coaching, and ESL reforms in California, along with several reports on corequisite courses.

This brief is part of a follow-up study that reports on longer-term student outcomes and provides additional cost data analysis from the five years of follow-up research. It also compares costs to cumulative academic outcomes, providing estimates of cost effectiveness. A supplement to the brief breaks down the costs into categories.
In a recent webinar, Elizabeth Kopko and Susan Sepanik of CAPR, along with Sharon Fox of NorthWest Arkansas Community College and Nancy Shapiro of the University System of Maryland, discussed the long-term results of two studies on developmental education reforms and how colleges and systems have changed their policies and practices in response to the findings.
Multiple Measures, Better Outcomes
A long-term study of an alternative approach to determining if community college students need developmental (also called remedial) courses has found that this approach allows many more students to succeed in their college-level math and English courses, part of the puzzle to bolstering the overall success of community college students.
