What Makes MyMathLab Successful? to ,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 Classes 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

Results of Redesign 2009—reduced the total cost by 20% Increased the pass rate by 45%

Results Awarded the Bellwether Award for Excellence in Community College Instructional Services and Programs Spring 2010 Given to only one community college annually in each of three categories 100 colleges applied

“Emporium” Model Univ of Alabama All classes in computer lab setting Lab attendance required Online homework & quizzes Prerequisite requirements ensure mastery Students get individualized help when needed “One room schoolhouse.” Multiple courses at same time

Case Study #1: Univ of Alabama Emporium Model Success Rates (ABC) Subsequent Course Completion Rate

Hybrid Model Florence Darlington CC Blend face-to-face with online videos & exercises Online self-assessment with immediate feedback Prerequisite requirements ensure mastery Self-remediation using Study Plan 24/7 online learning

Case Study #2: Florence- Darlington Technical College Hybrid Model Final Exam Scores Subsequent Course Completion Rate

Supplemental Model College of Sequoias Traditional seated classroom Low-stakes homework & high-stakes quizzes “Contract” to encourage work outside classroom Class time: less lecture, more interaction In-class worksheets; Students “show work”

Case Study #3: College of Sequoias Supplemental Model Required vs Optional Success Rates (ABC)
