  2. Precalculus Redesign Program Goals and Keys • R2R: NCAT Roadmap to Redesign Program (Fall 2004-Spring 2007) • Goals of Redesign: • To use technology • To reduce costs • To continue/improve current success rates • Pedagogical Keys of Redesign: • Active Student Learning Experience • Personalized, Individualized Instruction  • Immediate Feedback  • Repetition to Mastery

  3. Courses and Enrollment College Algebra (3 credit hours) • 1800 Fall • 400 Spring • 200 Summer Trigonometry (3 credit hours) • 1000 Fall • 1000 Spring • 200 Summer Precalculus (5 credit hours) • 400 Fall • 50 Spring

  4. A. Flexible Lab Model(Fall and Spring only) Class at fixed time • CA – 1 hour per week – 40 students • Trig – 1 hour per week – 200 students • Precalculus – 2 hours per week – 40 students • Review and connecting of concepts, working examples with most difficult skills Lab at flexible times (open 60 hours each week) • CA – 3 hours minimum each week • Trig – 3 hours minimum each week • Precalculus – 5 hours minimum each week • Do homework, do quizzes, read ebook, watch videos

  5. B. Fully Online Model • 1 section each of College Algebra and Trig • Sections capped at 200 students each • No class meetings • Optional lab hours – flexible times • Rigid due dates • Option to work ahead

  6. C. Fixed Lab Model(Summer only) • 2 sections of College Algebra and 2 sections of Trig • Enrollment per section capped at 100 • 8 class days and 16 lab days cycling in order of class, lab, lab, and then repeating • 1.5 fixed hours in class and 3 fixed hours in lab required per cycle • Lab open 8 hours each cycle

  7. Pleasant Hall Math LabFall 2005

  8. Assessments • All homework, quizzes, tests, and final exam using MyMathLab • Test in university testing center • Grade Distribution (modified for Online & Su) 10% Participation (5% class and 5% lab) 10% Homework (drop lowest 2/3) 10% Quizzes (drop the lowest 2) 45% Tests (4/5) 25% Final (can replace lowest test score)

  9. College Algebra Fall Results Permanent Changes: # MACT >24 given credit, Katrina/Rita ^ No partial credit on any assessments * Course rigor increased ~ Gustav/Ike

  10. College Algebra Spring Results Permanent Changes: ^ No partial credit on any assessments

  12. LSU Graduation Rates

  13. TrigonometryFall Results Permanent Changes: ^ No partial credit on any assessments # Katrina/Rita ~ Gustav/Ike

  14. TrigonometrySpring Results Permanent Changes: ^ No partial credit on any assessments

  15. LSU Dual Enrollment • Began by pairing high school Advanced Math with university College Algebra and Trigonometry • Students have same Homework, Quizzes, Tests, and Final Exam as LSU students using MyMathLab • Concurrent enrollment, articulated credit, dual credit, and dual enrollment • Teachers present 1/3 of the face-to-face classroom time; students work 2/3 of the face-to-face time in a computer lab environment with teacher support

  16. Students in LSU Dual Enrollment Spring 2008

  17. The Plan LSU College Readiness Program The Summer Workshop • Professional Development for 8-days during the summer in LSU Math Lab • LSU faculty facilitator and 5 high school mentor teachers • Workshop content 1. Technology: MyMathLab by Pearson Education • Pedagogy: Redesigned course delivery 3. Content: Math homework for teachers

  29. High School Readiness ProgramWorkshops 1 and 2 • 76 8th grade math teachers from Regions I, II, and III • 73 teachers completed the four-day workshop in Fall 2010 • 71 teachers completed all of the student homework with 100% mastery and received certification • 31 teachers ran pilot in Spring 2011 • All plan to implementing in Fall 2011

  30. High School Readiness Program8th Grade Workshop – Fall 2010

  31. CHALLENGES • Curriculum – course(s), dual credit, contents, alignment, setup, grading • Delivery Method – traditional/redesign, lecture/lab plan • Teacher Training – stipends, workshops, academic year follow-up • Logistics – student registration, administration, communication 5. Institutional Support – roles, monitoring, release time for faculty • Technology – cost and setup of computer labs, purchasing access codes • Scaling – piloting, growing, and expanding
