A new study suggests that within this new and improved landscape, researchers, leaders, and advocates must turn their attention to teaching quality and its role in improving outcomes in mathematics.
How can artificial intelligence (AI) become a tool for learning instead of a threat to the integrity of college writing instruction? Two instructors of first-year and corequisite English at the Community College of Baltimore County share experiences with AI in their own classrooms.
How can artificial intelligence be used productively in the classroom? Can it ever be used ethically? Nancy Murray takes on these questions as she reflects on her own experiences with ChatGPT in the classroom.
Both corequisite remediation and Multiple Measures Assessment (MMA) have been shown to get more students into college-level courses more quickly and to help students pass those courses. But what happens when colleges use corequisites and MMA together? A new CAPR study investigates how placement recommendations using high school GPA and other measures can improve student success in college-level courses.
At the start of 2023, CAPR began a partnership with CUNY on a study exploring the experiences of students and faculty and student achievement under different corequisite models. Hollie Daniels and Maggie P. Fay highlight details of the corequisite study at CUNY.
Researchers at the Center for Postsecondary Success at Florida State University break down their study on how institutions implemented corequisites and statewide student outcomes in light of HB 2223 and examine the relationships between corequisite intensity, structure, and student success in passing developmental courses and accumulating credits in the first year.
In this interview, Brandon Protas, assistant vice president for alliance engagement at Complete College America (CCA), discusses the state of the research on corequisite support and CCA's role in developmental education reform.
In this blog post, CAPR researchers discuss a new brief that looks at equity in placement reforms and provides strategies institutions can use to drive more equitable outcomes for students.
This blog post discusses the efforts that the National Conference on Acceleration in Developmental Education 2022 took to center equity, students, and data in conference proposals and proceedings.
This blog post provides an overview of two new CAPR briefs looking at informed self-placement (ISP), a placement system which focuses on educating students about a college’s curriculum and available courses and then asks them to reflect on their skills and experiences before deciding their own placement.
