Redesigning Basic and Developmental Reading: A Student-Centered Approach

This presentation outlines the redesign of DSPR 0870, a Basic and Developmental Reading course, to enhance student learning outcomes. Faced with high failure and withdrawal rates, the traditional lecture-based approach was restructured into a student-centered, interactive learning environment utilizing technology for immediate feedback. Key features include a Reading Emporium, web-based materials, weekly group meetings, and individual assistance in a flexible learning mode. The goal is to improve retention rates while reducing program costs, fostering a supportive atmosphere for all students.
