I've taught some undergrad courses, and unfortunately in practice this is a bit of an upstream problem. The pace of main line non-remedial courses is often set by the scope of course objectives, which in many cases are tied to accreditation. For higher-level more specialized courses, there is at least more freedom. Basically, even something that seems like a simple shake-up in education often would require a top-down redesign when considering actual implementation. Higher education is highly conservative and bureaucratic in its processes.
