Rethinking Business as Usual in NGLC Breakthrough Models

In 2012, 10 bold institutions received Next Generation Learning Challenges grants to develop and launch their Breakthrough Models for College Completion, leveraging online learning and lowering costs for improved student success. Their complete redesigns of degree programs, enabled by technology, seek to break the confines of long-accepted models for postsecondary education by improving learning environments, staffing models, and the use of time. The programs launched this fall. In this session, participants will hear from project leaders of three of the programs about their innovations in the business model of higher education.
