  1. Contextualized Math Curriculumwith Online Learning Supplement Frank Wang and Luis Gonzalez

  2. Basic Skills Students Six-year Graduation Rates Data from fall 2003 cohort of new, first-time students with valid test scores

  3. Project Quantum Leap • Contextualized curriculum, not just contrived word problems. • Funded by FIPSE, with subsequent support from Title V. • 47 faculty participated. ~1500 students served.

  4. AIDS Prevalence and Incidence PQL Sampler http://www.lagcc.cuny.edu/ctl/pql/sampler/

  5. On Using Technology • Engaging topics might take away class time. • Math syllabus is full. • Presenting all the math principles and sample problems might not be the best approach. • Students must become independent learners.

  6. MAT096 Online Materials: EDUCO • Tutorials (timed, possible extra credit) • Homework (5%) • Online Quizzes (15%, 3 attempts) • Online Departmental Midterm Exam (20%) • Online Departmental Final Exam (25%)

  7. EDUCO Tutorial

  8. EDUCO Homework

  9. EDUCO Quiz

  10. EDUCO Instructor View

  11. Implementation Tips • Structure: Instructor incorporates technology into curriculum. • Strictly enforce deadlines. • Give students control: improve grades by working harder. • Cooperation among all parties involved. • IML grant: Tutors as facilitators to help students adapt technology.

  12. I Just Passed COMPASS!

  13. How to Succeed in Math • The Professor telling us to practice each problem everyday and it worked. • Pay attention in class and jot down notes. If I don’t understand the concept log into EDUCOSOFT and practice the tutorials.

  14. Practice • My key to success was to practice a lot and always come to class. I believe that if a student practices a lot, the student would not have a problem passing MAT 096.

  15. Back to the Basics • How to succeed in math? Practice! • Effective use of technology is crucial. • Implementation requires leadership, commitment, and support.
