Pedagogical Keys to Math Redesign Using Technology
• Active Learning Experience
• Personalized, Individualized Instruction
• Immediate Feedback
• Repetition to Mastery

Redesign Features • Students attend class once each week for 50 minutes
![Page 7: Mathematics Course Redesign at the University of Idaho](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56813785550346895d9f1ec8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Redesign Features
• 94-seat learning lab with an additional 15 laptops for checkoutopen 82 hours each week
• Students must spend at least 3 hours/week in lab
![Page 8: Mathematics Course Redesign at the University of Idaho](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56813785550346895d9f1ec8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Redesign Features • Students watch short “homegrown” videos before working
homework problems and signal for help when needed.

Redesign Features
• Students complete a weekly MyMathLab homework assignment. Homework is Due the night prior to the next Focus Group Meeting.

Redesign Features
• Students complete a weekly MML quiz. Quizzes can be taken up to 10 times.
• MML tests are proctored in the lab. Students can take each test up to three times. MML tests are “pooled”.
• All deadlines are staggered.
• Database automatically reduces the time commitment for “good students.”
