On Let's Talk Ed this week, we Zahi Atallah and Chris Forde speak with friend of the show and English professor Kirby Lund, as we continue exploring ways to enhance student success and keep the college promise. The topic of this week is: upending the way we have done education to ensure student access and success.

Segment 1: "Re-inventing Gateway Courses: Corequisite Remediation Works”. In the first video, we discuss how re-inventing gateway courses for better student outcomes goes through corequisite remediation removes obstacles, increases success rates, and speeds up the completion of credentials.

Segment 2: "How Open Educational Resources Empower and Enhance Student Success”. In the second segment, Kirby shares his experience developing an Open Educational Resource (OER) for English Composition students (https://professorlund.wordpress.com/). Learn how OER can be continuously enhanced and adapted to meet student needs and tailored to individual cohorts. Such content reduces the cost of education for students while enhancing access and outcomes.

Segment 3: "Flexible Learning for All: The Impact of HyFlex Instruction on Student Achievement”. In the final episode, we explore the impact of HyFlex instruction, a highly flexible educational modality that allows students to attend classes remotely in real-time or review materials asynchronously, ensuring accessibility and flexibility for all learners. When we think about the main reasons why students fail to complete college education, it is mostly about life and/or work coming in the way. So, an education that wraps around the requirements of life and provides the tools for success is a key to keeping the college promise.
