Math Course Redesign Project

Abstract

Cayuga Community College is redesigning our developmental math course sequence, starting with Elementary Algebra, where the traditional classroom lecture format is replaced with an individualized, actively engaged approach to learning mathematics using technology. The content is modularized where students can work at a guided self-pace, with a focus on content mastery. In effect, students may complete the modules, and hence the course, as early as they are able, or they may follow the guided pace and complete the course throughout the intended semester. This project will further develop materials to assist students with transitioning into a traditional math sequence.
