Learning Labs

All of the KCTCS colleges have learning laboratories that help students improve themselves in basic learning skills and in subject matter areas.

Students who are experiencing difficulties in meeting entry-level academic skill areas such as reading, writing, and mathematics; students who want to improve their current academic skills; and students who want to review previously learned skills are among those who have found the services provided by learning laboratories to be helpful. 

Learning laboratories may use a variety of techniques and materials to assist students. Tutoring services, group work, and individualized instruction may be employed and tests may be given to determine when students have reached a particular level of achievement.

Materials include videos, individualized learning packets, programmed texts, sound pages, and computer-driven materials.
