Overlooking Puget Sound in Washington State, Highline Community College instructs more than 9,000 students each semester. Nearly 400 students are successfully bringing their math skills up to the college level by using Academic System's Interactive Mathematics software program in the math lab. Entry level and math review students with multiple learning styles welcome the multimedia presentations in the software.
Instructors notice that they have more impact on their student's success.
The Interactive Mathematics program provides unparalleled support for learners. Each math lesson is presented in six customized modules and includes narrated video and animation to capture student attention. Math problems model relevant work situations and may engage students in collaborative learning projects. Burn sees students brighten when they understand math that they had either been previously unexposed to or had difficulty understanding in high school. I was surprised by a student who was real quiet, but doing real well.
