 * New Resources for New Approaches to Mathematical Literacy **

Learn how colleges are leveraging digital resources from the non-profit NROC project as they explore new instructional models to support and engage developmental math students reaching for college and career opportunties. Produced with support from The Gates Foundation, these open educational resources target financially-disadvantaged learners struggling with mathematical literacy.

A 2013 recipient of the WCET Outstanding Work (WOW) Award for innovation in educational technology, NROC Developmental Mathematics - An Open Program is available as a complete course of study or as adaptable learning objects to be integrated with other resources that have proven effective. When used in its entirety, the mastery-based approach includes pre-assessments to help customize pathways through a portfolio of learning activities appropriate to individual learners.

The resources are designed to support a variety of instructional modes - classroom, emporium, online, blended, self-paced - and may also be considered a tool for counseling, placement assessment, or other student and instructional services. For more information about this project, visit http://nrocmath.org. Learning objects from the course are freely available to the public at www.hippocampus.org.
