 "Write Like College": How Remedial Writing Courses at a Community College
and a Research University Position "At-Risk" Students in the Field of
Higher Education <http://www.tcrecord.org/Content.asp?ContentID=15303>
by M. Kate Callahan & Donalda Chumney
 Callahan and Chumney use a comparative case study approach to examine the
experiences and outcomes of remedial writing students enrolled in two urban
public institutions: a community college and a research university.
Applying Bourdieu's theory of practice, this ethnographic study reveals
that institutions further determine the advantage or disadvantage of
remedial students by controlling their access to cultural capital, which is
critical for navigating the field of higher education successfully.

 Online Education as Institutional Myth: Rituals and Realities at Community
Colleges <http://www.tcrecord.org/Content.asp?ContentID=12095>
by Rebecca D. Cox
 Relying on data from an in-depth study of 15 community colleges, this
article explores online education through the lens of institutional theory.
This theoretical perspective highlights the colleges' environmental
contexts and offers a critical examination of the ways that the
institutional contexts have structured the colleges' approaches to online
education. At the core of this analysis is the contention that community
colleges are interpreting and responding to a set of taken-for-granted
ideas about online education. These ideas have taken on the status of myth
and have played a powerful role in guiding and legitimating colleges'
online activity. This analysis provides a research-based foundation for
understanding online activity at the community college level and for
carefully addressing the challenges associated with its adoption.
