Learning Modules, Not More Academic Term DE Courses

There are more successful reports being published about shifting from requiring students to enroll in academic term length developmental-level courses to having them only work on the learning modules they are weak.  Inside HigherED reported on how Tennessee has embraced this concept with large-scale deployment within their high schools.  Click on this link to read the article.  I will share about what I have learened about a Gates Foundation-funded approarch called "EdReady" and the pilot tests with preparing high school students for college-level algebra.  In another year another EdReady course will begin pilot testing with a combined approach for reading and writing.
