An experimental approach to improving adult online learning experiences conducted by Calbright College led to a near doubling of one-year program completion rates.
And it started with reimaging what personalized timelines can look like.
“I’ve rarely seen results like what we saw in our initial timelines project,” said Tom Tasche, senior director of innovation at ideas42, which partnered with Calbright in developing the personalized timelines program.
That quote comes from a new article in Work Shift by Paul Fain, focusing on Calbright’s research efforts to help adults and non-traditional students succeed in flexible online learning environments.
The article notes: “The college’s unique approach can be a great influence on community colleges nationally, says Lisa Larson, interim CEO of the Education Design Lab. She praises Calbright’s ability to consistently design credentials and services from the learner’s perspective, while also responding quickly to employer needs.”
