How Alamo Colleges Online Uses Digital Communities to Boost Engagement and Build Connections
Across the U.S., community college students come from diverse backgrounds and have unique needs. A significant portion are students of color, reflecting the rich diversity of their communities. Many are women balancing education with caregiving responsibilities, while the majority attend part-time, making it even more challenging to stay engaged.
Alamo Colleges District, a leading provider of higher education in South Texas, exemplifies this reality, serving over 17,000 students from a wide range of backgrounds. Many juggle academics with work and family commitments while navigating personal challenges. While community colleges provide critical access to education, online learners often struggle with feelings of isolation, making it harder to persist and complete their degrees.
