Value Add: Integrating Adaptive Learning in Mathematics. A Case Study of Adaptive Learning Technology in Mathematics
Achieving the Dream
Many students worry about taking and succeeding in the gateway math courses needed to enter most community college degree and certificate programs. Their concern is not surprising given that these courses have traditionally had some of the highest failure and withdrawal rates at community colleges, in many cases disproportionally affecting poverty-impacted and racially minoritized students. As part of ongoing efforts to improve student success rates in gateway math courses, a cross-section of mathematics faculty across community colleges participating in the Every Learner Network initiative sought to implement adaptive courseware to support students. Their experience, captured in this case study, suggests that adaptive courseware has benefits across the full spectrum of ability levels--from self-guided remediation and support for struggling students to helping reinforce skills for those who are ready for college-level content. A common strength is the technology's ability to provide guided practice outside of the classroom setting. The case study is part of a series of 12 case studies examining the use of adaptive courseware in gateway courses that ATD is producing as a partner in the Every Learner network. The effort to improve student success in gateway math courses involved seven Achieving the Dream (ATD) network colleges in Florida, Ohio, and Texas.
