ABSTRACT

The authors describe the design of a technology-based developmental mathematics course created to remedy issues confronting developmental courses in the higher education system in the presenters' state. Combining a software-based mastery learning solution with one-on-one instruction, the course has shown increased exit rates and increased performance in subsequent mathematics courses.
