Goode, Elizabeth; Roche, Thomas; Wilson, Erica; McKenzie, John W. – Studies in Higher Education, 2023
Post-pandemic, many universities are seeking ways to better engage students and support them to stay with and succeed in their studies. Immersive scheduling, whereby students complete units over shorter time periods than the traditional 12-15 week semester or trimester, may be a way to do this and improve academic outcomes at scale. This paper…
