To adapt to the evolving landscape of teaching and learning following the pandemic, LACCD has significantly enhanced its distance education course offerings across its nine colleges. Continuing its mission to bolster student engagement and outcomes, LACCD is expanding its course offerings to provide more flexible scheduling options while investigating what practices promote student success across modalities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cepr.harvard.edu\/leveraging-technology-and-engaging-students-ltes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This project<\/a> evaluates these changes, investigating how and why students choose different course modalities, and their resulting impact on academic success. Alongside academic outcomes, we examine the interplay between the evolving teaching and learning environment with faculty workload and wellbeing, and student engagement and psychosocial outcomes. We also estimate the cost of providing instruction and producing course completers in each modality.<\/p>\n<p>The LTES project further explores the influence of non-academic services on student success by piloting and experimentally evaluating an enhanced coaching initiative within the Los Angeles College Promise to boost student persistence. Our research findings aim to guide LACCD\u2019s ongoing efforts to elevate student success.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This project is fully funded by the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education, through <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ies.ed.gov\/funding\/grantsearch\/details.asp?ID=5828\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grant R305X220018<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the President and Fellows of Harvard College.

Tatiana was a leader in community college research, a dedicated mentor, and partner of the Los Angeles Community College District for over 15 years. She was an energetic researcher who always had a welcoming and warm word for her colleagues, and whose commitment to doing rigorous work that directly speaks to and informs the pressing questions facing community colleges is a model for researchers throughout the field. Her loss will be felt deeply by the LTES team and the higher education research community broadly.
