Hi. As the developer of the first and perhaps only online course related to learning support centers, I would be interested in looking at the syllabi for any other courses. I would especially like to see the syllabi for the Grambling courses in learning centers. My syllabus for the " Introduction to Learning Support Centers in Higher Education" that I taught at Grambling is in LSCHE at http://www.lsche.net/aboutLSCs.gsu_modified.syllabus.htm and also in the ASHE database of syllabi at http://www.higher-ed.org/syllabi/christ.htm. If you know of any other syllabi for a similar course to the one I taught at Grambling, please post the URL to this listserv. Collegially....

I know several wonderful colleagues who got their degree there! I guess my concern is that, while the program might offer classes in learning centers (theory? administration?), the degree is in developmental education, right? At least that's how I'm reading it.
