Recent Trends

Recent trends in developmental education (DE) include the reduction of time spent in DE courses, which in- cludes the acceleration of the course content. In 2011, the North Carolina Community College System rede- signed all DE mathematics courses using this trend of acceleration. This study looks at the subsequent gateway mathematics course success rates for students who took the course in the traditional 16-week semester format and in the new 4-week accelerated modular format. The results of this study showed that there was no differ- ence in the success rates of the two formats. The researchers concluded that acceleration of courses does not affect the subsequent course success rates.

As the role of distance learning within the educational setting expands, it is imperative that potential producers and receivers of these courses examine the prospects and problems of a distance learning initiative prior to embarking on this new educational journey. The authors provide guidance from their own distance learning experiences at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. The article focuses on the importance of instructor and facilitator training, student selection, physical arrangements for the studio/classroom, and an evaluation plan.
