Remedial Education for Incoming Community College Students

With an estimated 60% of first year community college students needing at least one remedial course once they get to campus, the cost of re-learning basic skills is a growing problem for students, their families and institutions of higher education.  To help address the issue, Blackboard, Inc. and K12 Inc. are developing an innovative solution to cut the cost of delivering remediation courses while increasing their overall quality and effectiveness.  By moving at their own speed, students can save time and money by completing courses more quickly once they've mastered required content, enabling them to begin degree credit courses sooner.  K12 and Blackboard will share the latest developments.
