PLATO Learning, Inc. (NASDAQ: TUTR), a leading provider of
computer-based and e-learning solutions, announced that North Seattle
Community College (NSCC) will continue its 10-year partnership with
PLATO Learning by transitioning to the company’s
newest online software for post-secondary—Academic
Systems Algebra—to support the college’s
developmental mathematics courses. The mathematics series provides
students at the Seattle, Wash., college with greater opportunities to
understand, master, and apply the principles of algebra in a flexible,
self-paced, and anytime/anywhere online format.
“We are thrilled with the possibilities that
the Academic Systems Algebra solution affords us,”
said Denise Brannan, mathematics instructor for NSCC. “It
was time to upgrade our capabilities, and our new computer-based and
distance learning programs provide our students the flexibility to take
lecture or online-courses, enroll full- or part-time, and excel at their
own pace. As a result, our students are succeeding in ways they were
previously unable.”
NSCC proactively responded to students’
changing needs—including greater
accessibility and schedule flexibility—by
creating both distance learning and hybrid programs using Academic
Systems Algebra. And since spring 2008, NSCC has utilized Academic
Systems Algebra to instruct more than 200 students enrolled in basic,
elementary, and intermediate algebra courses.
A PLATO Learning partner since 1997, NSCC continues to see improved
student pass rates, retention, and persistence across all of its college
courses. “The students we have at our school
are here because they want to grow,” Brannan
said. “Our developmental math programs
provide students with multiple opportunities to build the foundational
mathematics skills they need to persist and succeed in more advanced
courses.”
“Academic Systems Algebra has been designed
to help students master vital mathematics principles and skills that
will help them complete the rest of their college studies,”
said Mike Morache, PLATO Learning president and CEO. “We
are delighted to be part of NSCC’s transition
to offer flexible and powerful online learning courses.”
