using OER with assessments to improve student completion


Lightening Round - using OER with assessments to create completion
Excelsior avoids having remedial classes, but instead builds remediation into each class. Credit by exam is a really affordable way for people to get to a degree. Had their faculty look at the good free stuff out there and move toward being ready for an exam. Average student takes less than 12 credits with them, lower cost per credit for partners

Favorite source - Harrisburg community college. While no one has time to vet them all, this becomes an affordable way to get folks to completion.

Note to self - talk to advising - which classes are the biggest obstacles to completion.
