Today’s Agenda
• What is the role of Technology in Course
Redesign?
• What technology tools exist to aid in this
process?
• Math Redesign Case Study at Jackson
State
• Different Models of Redesign
• Mastering Platform
“They” are not like “us.”
We had . . .
They have . . .
We had….

Current Teaching Practices
And expectations
• Skill/Knowledge based
• Quantitative course focus mostly on skills
(or skills that should have been learned in
previous course.)
• Graduation Rates and Teacher
Accountability
• Largely teacher centered (lecture followed
by homework – maybe)
• Highly unsuccessful for many students
What is “Course Redesign?”
The process of redesigning the way content of an
entire course is delivered, using technology to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Increase pass rates
Increase retention
Improve return on investment
Save time
Save money
Increase Student engagement in the learning
process

Jackson State Math Lecture
Classes
• Students uninvolved with their learning
• Students not responsible for their learning
• Students must keep up with the class (or
stay behind with the class)
• “I hate math”
• “I can’t learn math”
• Math unrelated to major
• Large numbers of failures and dropouts
