MAT 0055 Developmental Math Modules I MAT 0056 Developmental Math Modules II Division of Mathematics Valencia College, West Campus 1800 S. Kirkman Rd. Orlando, FL

Outline • Grant: Developmental Education Redesign & Modularization Mini-Grant, Florida College System • Guiding Principles & Course Design • Course Outlines • Course Scheduling • Assessment, Diagnostic & Student’s Report • Criteria Performance Standard

Grant • Develop two modularized self-paced courses: -MAT 0055 -Developmental Math Modules I (1 cr. , 1 -2 modules) -MAT 0056 -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 MAT 0055 or MAT 0056 • Grant requirements include the use of the P. E. R. T. -M and Math diagnostic for placement into MAT 0055 of MAT 0056

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.

Content Design • MAT 0055 & MAT 0056 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 Outlines MAT 0055 Developmental Math Modules I MAT 0056 Developmental Math Modules II • MAT 0055 and MAT 0056 are listed in the Florida State Course Numbering System but were not listed in Valencia’s catalog • Course outlines were developed and submitted to voting faculty through the college’s course outline builder for approval • The College Curriculum Committee approved the outlines per committee guidelines

Course Scheduling • MAT 0055 is a five week course followed by MAT 1033 C in a 10 week course • MAT 0056 is an eight week course followed by MAT 1033 C in an eight week course • Scheduling these parts of term classes enable students to enroll in MAT 1033 C course schedule, completing a college-level course in the same term

Student Placement: Assessment, Diagnostic & Student’s 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 MAT 0055 or MAT 0056
