Grant

• Develop two modularized self-paced courses
• -MAT0055-Developmental Math Modules I (1cr., 1-2
  modules)
• -MAT0056-Developmental Math Modules II (2 cr.,
  3-4 modules)
• Courses offered to
• -Students with P.E.R.T.-M scores of 110, 111 or
  112
• -Students completing Math diagnostic
• According to math diagnostic results, students
  are placed in MAT0055 or MAT0056
• Grant requirements include the use of the
  P.E.R.T.-M and Math diagnostic for placement into
  MAT0055 of MAT0056

Guiding Design Principles

• What is the course format?
• Module based self-paced course
• Instructor is a facilitator in students learning
• What content needs to be in the course?
• Targeted learning objectives assure an effective
  learning experience
• Eliminating instructional activities that do not
  directly contribute to learning outcomes.
• How can the student use the information?
• Specific activities provide students the
  necessary skills to succeed in their Math path.
• Where possible, relate to real-life experiences
  through example and application.

5
Content Design

• MAT0055 MAT0056 modules were designed using the
  Foundations of Math software. This Pearson
  product embeds math activities for each topic,
  from lower level to college level math
  competencies
• Students practice and test their math skills for
  specific topics included in each module with
  various activities for each topic
• Post-test included for each topic
• Module ? topics ? activities ? post-test

Course OutlinesMAT0055 Developmental Math
Modules I MAT0056 Developmental Math Modules II

• MAT0055 and MAT0056 are listed in the Florida
  State Course Numbering System but were not listed
  in Valencias catalog
• Course outlines were developed and submitted to
  voting faculty through the colleges course
  outline builder for approval
• The College Curriculum Committee approved the
  outlines per committee guidelines

8
Course Scheduling

• MAT0055 is a five week course followed by
  MAT1033C in a 10 week course
• MAT 0056 is an eight week course followed by
  MAT1033C in an eight week course
• Scheduling these parts of term classes enable
  students to enroll in MAT1033C course schedule,
  completing a college-level course in the same
  term

Student PlacementAssessment, Diagnostic
Students Report

• P.E.R.T.-M taken in Testing and Assessment
• Students who score 110, 111, or 112 on the
  P.E.R.T-M are contacted by the West Campus Math
  division and scheduled to take the math
  diagnostic
• Math diagnostic is taken in the West Campus
  Testing Center
• Results of math diagnostic used to assign
  appropriate modules for MAT0055 or MAT0056
