ABSTRACT

This paper describes an investigation of the enhancement effects from two different Web-based learning management systems on developmental mathematics students in the traditional lecture-based classroom. One of the learning management systems was WebCT, and the other, a course management and communications software called MyMathLab (serviced by Blackboard.com), that came packaged with the course textbook. Both software packages were used as vehicles for communication, and as tools to evaluate student learning.
