SXSW EDU 2020
Can On-Demand Higher Ed Raise Completion?
Description:
With graduation rates stagnating below 60%, colleges face mounting pressure to remove barriers to student success. But the most significant challenge may be lying in plain sight: too many students cannot access the courses they need, at the time they need them. Join institutional leaders and technologists to explore how colleges are addressing this often overlooked challenge by reimagining everything from scheduling to course sharing, and are closing the gap between capacity and completion.
