Statistical Significance: Implementing Adaptive Courseware in Gateway Math and Business Courses. A Case Study of Lorain County Community College
Achieving the Dream
Achieving the Dream (ATD) is one of 12 higher education and digital learning organizations that make up the Every Learner Everywhere (Every Learner) Network, whose mission is to help higher education institutions improve and ensure more equitable student outcomes through advances in digital learning, particularly among poverty-impacted, racially minoritized, and first-generation students. Every Learner partners are addressing high failure rates in foundational courses through the provision of scalable, high-quality support to colleges and universities seeking to implement adaptive courseware on their campuses. In this case study, faculty in several disciplines at Lorain County Community College (LCCC) in Ohio explored the use of adaptive courseware, ultimately implementing it in a gateway statistics course and several business courses. This case study is part of a series of studies conducted by ATD examining how adaptive courseware is implemented at those institutions as well as how courseware is used in particular disciplines to better serve students. Case studies are based on a series of interviews with college leaders, faculty, instructional designers, developers, technology specialists and students who were enrolled in classes using the courseware.
