… I get in to work today and there’s a Moodle conference. I *swear* I registered but … doesn’t seem I did. So I get late registration. Doesn’t work first time, but they get me in. I just can’t tell if the learning curve is too steep or not, much like Geogebra. They use Telegram […]

This one has an important difference …. but, unfortunately the same rather important similarity. Students who were *furthest* behind showed more improvement than the ones on the margins. What’s different about the program? Yes, they *still did developmental.* So, it would seem that it is better to actually *give some remediation* to these folks, not […]

I looked at more of the articles that those “five principles for reforming developmental education” said they were based on. Basically, the *only* place that’s done co-reqs successfully is CUNY per “Should Students Assessed as Needing Remedial Mathematics Take College-Level Quantitative Courses Instead? A Randomized Controlled Trial.” That’s included in the 17 articles. For example, […]

I decided to hop the bus today– Wednesdya’s “snow day” was almost all slush, followed by cold. Yesterday most surfaces had a bit of a glaze and even today, I was concerned that yes, the middle of the road where the cars heated stuff up would be fine and yes, I take the lane when […]

…. at least for us, and Lakeland College, and schools out in the county (many of them going to “e-learning”). It’s wet, heavy snow and not too much of it so the roads are not covered and there are water puddles. I don’t know what it’s like out on the prairie. Local schools are open […]

So, yes, I found an article from October 2022 from “postsecondaryreadiness.org” and it has me imagining Well Dressed Administrators discussing Where The Grants Are because you need grants to help your students (how hard do they fight to get state / fed funding back?) and hey, let’s make an organization. “postsecondaryrediness” sounds good. The article […]

Okay, listening to Second Effort and it’s an awesome song but I’m not that low 😉 as I get ready to try again! Maybe Man With Blue Dolphin… (just changed the title to this post). Blue Dolphin is a schooner boat… Stan Rogers wrote awesome songs about boats… “He pounds his fist white on the […]

So! I’m in the Digital Learning Lab cohort — where we try out using technology to help adults learn. Executive Summary (TL/DR:) We also know it’s not really about the tools — it’s how they’re used — and what they’re used on. With enough support and stuff to organize, WE SUCCEEDED !!! Long version 😛 […]

Hey, it’s Microsoft, it must be good! EEDI has “better” diagnostic questions. Their example: instead of “which of these is a multiple of 6” and 6 numbers bigger than 6 but only one is right, include a factor of six in case that’s the real issue.. Hi, both questions are “do you know this arbitrary […]
