Today’s Agenda

• What is the role of Technology in Course Redesign?

• What technology tools exist to aid in this process?

• Math Redesign Case Study at Jackson State

• Different Models of Redesign

• Mastering Platform

“They” are not like “us.”

We had . . .

• Skill/Knowledge based• Quantitative course focus mostly on skills (or

skills that should have been learned in previous course.)

• Graduation Rates and Teacher Accountability

• Largely teacher centered (lecture followed by homework – maybe)

• Highly unsuccessful for many students

Current Teaching PracticesAnd expectations

What Makes MyMathLab Successful?

• 1-01-2010 to 10-20-2010• 192,519 courses created • 23,703,029 tests and quizzes submitted • 50,817,508 homeworks submitted • 2.2 million unique students • Since September grading 1 million assignments

per day!• Used in 85% of All NCAT Math Redesigns!

Jackson State Math Lecture Jackson State Math Lecture ClassesClasses

• Students uninvolved with their learning• Students not responsible for their learning• Students must keep up with the class (or

stay behind with the class)• “I hate math”• “I can’t learn math”• Math unrelated to major• Large numbers of failures and dropouts

Jackson State Math Redesign

• Redesign MandatesRedesign Mandates• Look at the program from top to bottomLook at the program from top to bottom• Must be modular based• Must have a technology component• Must be individualized• Must have open exit• Must reduce cost• Must raise completion rates
