This is a bigger discussion point than this thread, but it seems that self-paced/CBE is fantastic for motivated people who want to move quickly toward a degree, but clearly a lot of people don’t fit that. This is anecdotal and I haven’t been able to find any number behind it BUT… I have a relative who used to work in IT for a community college in Kentucky when they rolled out their self paced learning format (called Learn on Demand). His understanding was they viewed the whole thing as a failure. They had a handful of students who finished courses/degrees “too quickly” and more incompletes/failures than was typical in their system, so they discontinued the format. Again, that’s a former IT guy’s perspective on one college, BUT…I would love to know if that is a pattern that is duplicated elsewhere. A lot of people need structure and self-paces/CBE provides very little of that.
