Precalculus Redesign Program Goals and Keys
• R2R: NCAT Roadmap to Redesign Program (Fall 2004-Spring 2007)
• Goals of Redesign: To use technologyTo reduce costs To continue/improve current success rates
• Pedagogical Keys of Redesign:Active Student Learning Experience Personalized, Individualized Instruction Immediate Feedback Repetition to Mastery
Courses and EnrollmentCollege 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
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
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
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
Pleasant Hall Math Lab
Fall 2005
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)

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
Students in LSU Dual EnrollmentSpring 2008
The Plan
• 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
2. Pedagogy: Redesigned course delivery
3. Content: Math homework for teachers

CHALLENGES1. Curriculum – course(s), dual credit, contents,
alignment, setup, grading
2. Delivery Method – traditional/redesign, lecture/lab plan
3. Teacher Training – stipends, workshops, academic year follow-up
4. Logistics – student registration, administration, communication
5. Institutional Support – roles, monitoring, release time for faculty
6. Technology – cost and setup of computer labs, purchasing access codes
7. Scaling – piloting, growing, and expanding
