Redesign in progress, Spring 2026. This course is the highest-enrollment entry point for the Digital Media Arts department and has a documented low student success rate. The contracted redesign grounds every module in retention research, embeds Student Services (Advising, GCC Cares, Tutoring, Disability Services) directly into the learning experience, and incorporates AI-assisted course design workflows throughout. Intended as a replicable model for wellness-embedded instructional design across the department.
