State and System Course Redesign
Tennessee Board of Regents: Developmental Studies Redesign Initiative (2006 – 2009)
Redesign Projects
Building on lessons learned in the Program in Course Redesign and the Roadmap to Redesign, the Tennessee Board of Regents Course Redesign program demonstrated how colleges and universities can redesign their instructional approaches using technology to achieve cost savings as well as quality enhancements.
Redesign projects focused on remedial and developmental math and English courses.
The goal was to develop more effective and efficient assessment and delivery
approaches that will increase completion rates for students, reduce the amount
of time that students spend in remedial and developmental courses and decrease
the amount of fiscal resources that students dedicate to remedial and
developmental education.
The following projects were highly successful. Links include contact information, one-page abstracts and final outcome reports.
- Austin Peay State University, Elementary Algebra and Intermediate Algebra
- Cleveland State Community College, Basic Math, Elementary Algebra and Intermediate Algebra
- Jackson State Community College, Basic Math, Elementary Algebra and Intermediate Algebra
- Northeast State Technical Community College, Basic and Developmental Reading
Two additional projects were piloted but not completed successfully: Remedial and Developmental Math at Chattanooga State Technical Community College and Basic and Developmental Writing at Columbia State Community College. The links include a one-page abstract and contact information for each project.
