Bridging the Great Divide: Strategies, Models, and Pathways to Connect High School with College

We know that one-third of students at four-year universities must take at least one remedial class to advance in their studies, and more than 42% must do so at community colleges. And less than a quarter of students met college-ready benchmarks in all four subjects on the 2010 ACT exam. In the face of these realities, how can we harness the capabilities of today's technologies to provide flexible, self-paced, and adaptive learning experiences to our students to ensure they have the skills they need to succeed on our campuses and beyond? In this panel discussion, we'll explore approaches from K-12, community colleges, and universities.
