Higher education leaders face the urgent challenge of preparing students for an increasingly competitive, knowledge-based global economy. A diverse population of adult learners needs access to a broad range of research, review and remediation materials. Professors need resources to help them support students having widely varied strengths and preferences. In addition, these students may have gaps in understanding that are difficult to predict but essential to remedy.

A Better Way to Learn
Developing first-rate educational or online learning materials takes a lot of time, effort and money. The activities in SAS Curriculum Pathways are grounded in the principles of cognitive science – which allows us to make evidence-based decisions about the most effective methods. Studies show that student performance increased by an average of 89 percent when online materials more effectively match what we know about the way students learn.
