2. 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

3. “They” are not like “us.”

4. We had . . .

5. They have . . .

6. We had….

8. Current Teaching Practices
And expectations
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

9. What is “Course Redesign?”
The process of redesigning the way content of an entire course is delivered, using technology to:
Increase pass rates
Increase retention
Improve return on investment
Save time
Save money
Increase Student engagement in the learning process
Over the past few days you heard Michelle Renda and Becky Anderson discuss Course Redesign in the Dev Math session and MML session. They say repetition is the key to learning so can someone tell us what Course Redesign is?

12. What Makes MyMathLab Successful?to
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!

13. 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

14. Jackson State Math Redesign
Redesign Mandates
Look 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

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

18. 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

19. “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
See notes in slide -

20. Case Study #1: Univ of Alabama Emporium Model
Subsequent Course
Completion Rate
Success Rates (ABC)
More results in MTG Vol 4. Positive results
Again: good return on investment!

21. 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
See slide for description…

22. Case Study #2: Florence-Darlington Technical College Hybrid Model
Subsequent Course
Completion Rate
Final Exam Scores
Have profs open . Making the Grade. This is of interest to Deans and Department Chairs
This slide shows good “return on investment”

23. 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”
See notes in slide….George Woodbury’s school. .Homework in MML.

24. Case Study #3: College of Sequoias Supplemental Model
Required vs Optional
Success Rates (ABC)
In the conclusions section of this case study: if MML is not required, student scores do not improve (poor return on investment)
