The Turning Gatekeepers into Gateways Digital Learning Program aims to improve student outcomes in gateway courses, which are introductory college-level courses with high enrollment and high failure rates. These courses often act as barriers to student progression, particularly affecting students from low-income backgrounds and students of color. The initiative focuses on developing high-quality, affordable digital courseware for 20 gateway courses, starting with Introductory Chemistry and Introductory Statistics. The program seeks to address significant disparities in drop/fail/withdraw (DFW) rates across different institution types and student demographics. By redesigning these courses, the initiative aims to help more students master key material, stay on track for their degrees, and provide faculty with tools to support struggling students. A key objective is to eliminate disparities in DFW rates by race, ethnicity, and income level, with a particular focus on benefiting Black, Latino, indigenous students, and students from low-income backgrounds.
