Complimentary Webinar: Math Curriculum Redesign Powered by Super Adaptive Technology

 
Kent State University
Math Curriculum Redesign Powered by Super Adaptive Technology
Despite the widespread use of technology in math departments, many institutions across the country still struggle with poor outcomes. Therefore, many of these schools are looking to redesign their math curriculum to address these issues.

Research has shown that ACT scores, as well as other common methods of math placement often result in over- or under-placement of incoming students, resulting in high failure and drop rates.
Furthermore, current so called "adaptive" technology used widely in math departments today hasn't delivered on the promise of significantly improved outcomes. Kent State University has taken a fresh approach, using super adaptive technology to make significant improvements in placement accuracy and course completion rates in mathematics.

In this web seminar, Andrew Tonge, Department Chair of Mathematics at Kent State will discuss the institution’s decision to redesign their placement and math curriculum and how the change has yielded impressive improvements in student placement and retention.
