Abstract:
Traditionally offered on the college campus, state-funded dual enrollment programs now offer high school students the opportunity to take college courses on high school campuses with high school faculty as instructors. If these programs are to succeed, there needs to be a paradigm shift in higher education’s implementation and execution of dual enrollment programs. In this panel discussion, we will outline the current state of affairs in dual enrollment and propose a technological mechanism to facilitate the successful planning, execution, and assessment of dual enrollment courses offered on high school campuses.
