Students of color and those of lower economic backgrounds and of
underrepresented groups appear to face a disadvantage when they
transition from high schools into colleges. These students tend to have
lower academic preparation than white students, which leads to higher
levels of stress and anxiety, as well as an increased placement in
remedial courses, which negatively impacts their graduation rates. As
institutions become aware of these facts and take appropriate measures
to improve educational experiences, they must implement Transparency in
Learning and Teaching (TILT) initiatives in order to provide equal
access to education. Integrating Transparency in Learning and Teaching
(TILT): An Effective Tool for Providing Equitable Opportunity in Higher
Education provides information on Transparency in Learning and Teaching
(TILT) concepts and how they can be used in course development to
improve student learning and performance. It focuses on bringing
positive learning experiences to college students, especially
first-generation students, which can lead to higher levels of academic
success. It strongly advocates for transparent education and provides
guidance for overcoming the existing accessibility gap in higher
education. Covering topics such as business education, online learning
platforms, and teaching modalities, this book is an indispensable
resource for academicians, faculty developers, administrators,
instructional designers, professors, and researchers.
