Outline
• Grant: Developmental Education Redesign &
Modularization Mini-Grant, Florida College System
• Guiding Principles & Course Design
• Course Outlines
• Course Scheduling
• Assessment, Diagnostic & Student’s Report
• Criteria Performance Standard
Grant
• Develop two modularized self-paced courses:
-MAT0055-Developmental Math Modules I (1cr., 1-2 modules)
-MAT0056-Developmental Math Modules II (2 cr., 3-4 modules)
• Courses offered to:
-Students with P.E.R.T.-M scores of 110, 111 or 112
-Students completing Math diagnostic
• According to math diagnostic results, students are placed
in MAT0055 or MAT0056
• Grant requirements include the use of the P.E.R.T.-M and
Math diagnostic for placement into MAT0055 of MAT0056
Guiding Design Principles
• What is the course format?
• Module based self-paced course
• Instructor is a facilitator in students’ learning
• What content needs to be in the course?
• Targeted learning objectives assure an effective learning experience
• Eliminating instructional activities that do not directly contribute to
learning outcomes.
• How can the student use the information?
• Specific activities provide students the necessary skills to succeed in
their Math path.
• Where possible, relate to real-life experiences through example and
application.
Content Design
• MAT0055 & MAT0056 modules were designed using the
Foundations of Math software. This Pearson product
embeds math activities for each topic, from lower level to
college level math competencies
• Students practice and test their math skills for specific
topics included in each module with various activities for
each topic
• Post-test included for each topic
• Module → topics → activities → post-test

Course Outlines
MAT0055 Developmental Math Modules I
MAT0056 Developmental Math Modules II
• MAT0055 and MAT0056 are listed in the Florida State
Course Numbering System but were not listed in
Valencia’s catalog
• Course outlines were developed and submitted to voting
faculty through the college’s course outline builder for
approval
• The College Curriculum Committee approved the outlines
per committee guidelines
Course Scheduling
• MAT0055 is a five week course followed by MAT1033C in
a 10 week course
• MAT 0056 is an eight week course followed by
MAT1033C in an eight week course
• Scheduling these parts of term classes enable students to
enroll in MAT1033C course schedule, completing a
college-level course in the same term
Student Placement:
Assessment, Diagnostic & Student’s Report
• P.E.R.T.-M taken in Testing and Assessment
• Students who score 110, 111, or 112 on the P.E.R.T-M are
contacted by the West Campus Math division and
scheduled to take the math diagnostic
• Math diagnostic is taken in the West Campus Testing
Center
• Results of math diagnostic used to assign appropriate
modules for MAT0055 or MAT0056
