There is evidence that many of those placed into developmental education courses could succeed in college-level courses.1 In recent years, new placement systems and curricular models designed to increase the number of students placed into entry-level college courses have emerged. These systems aim to more accurately identify students who may benefit from some type of developmental instruction and those who are ready for entry-level college courses. Examples of these include multiple measures assessment and the use of corequisites rather than prerequisites.2 Another type of placement system is informed self-placement (ISP) . ISP is a placement system in which colleges provide information about placement policies, available courses, and other relevant topics to engage students as active participants in their own placement. In addition to ISP, terms that have been used to describe this type of placement include directed self-placement and guided self-placement.  \nCAPR \\ Center for the Analysis of Postsecondary Readiness  \nOver the past eight years, the Center for the Analysis of Postsecondary Readiness (CAPR) has helped to establish rigorous evidence about which placement and developmental education reforms are effective in improving students’ college success.3 Maintaining focus on advancing the field’s knowledge on how to improve students’ success in the long term, CAPR undertook an exploratory study of ISP to better understand this method of placement. ISP is of particular interest because it does not rely solely, if at all, on standardized test scores—a positive development because research shows that standardized test scores are not reliable predictors of performance in college. ISP was of particular interest during the COVID-19 pandemic, when this study began, because many colleges experienced difficulty administering standardized tests and were seeking reliable placement methods that could be easily used in a virtual setting.4  \nCAPR’s recent review of the literature predating the pandemic describes practitioners’rationale for ISP as well as the methods and materials commonly used to implement it.5 Within the literature, there is a lack of conclusive evidence about the impact of ISP on students’ placement or performance. The CAPR literature review found that ISP and the other terms mentioned above have been used to describe a wide range of overlapping practices over time. Additional information about student outcomes and implementation strategies related to ISP according to the literature are available here.  \nTo help practitioners and policymakers better understand ISP, this brief includes a discussion of the following items:  \nz descriptive data on course enrollment and course completion outcomes under ISP and more traditional placement methods, in aggregate and by demographic subgroups  \nz a wide variety of current ISP practices being implemented nationally since the beginning of the pandemic  \nz a typology to help differentiate these various placement systems  \nz barriers and facilitators to the implementation of ISP  \nResearch Methodology  \nAs part of the one-year exploratory study on ISP, CAPR researchers sought to describe course enrollment and completion trends among students placed using ISP practices and to define and document varied approaches to ISP. This research draws from two approaches: descriptive data collected from three Nevada institutions and qualitative research grounded in national data. This section describes the sampling strategy and analytic approaches utilized for this study.  \nResearchers c","cbCailc8DMSEtGQf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailc8DMSEtGQf","pdf",597381,22,"English","# Research Brief Overview\n## Placement Context and Definitions\n## CAPR Focus and Literature Review\n## What the Brief Covers\n# Research Methodology\n## Descriptive Quantitative Data\n## Nevada Sampling Strategy\n## Qualitative National Evidence","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the research address about developmental education placement?\",\"answer\":\"Large numbers of students are placed into developmental education but are less likely to graduate than peers who start in college-level courses.
