In 2010, Edinboro University began rethinking how the two remedial algebra courses were delivered to students with the ultimate goal of improving student success. These changes were prompted by historically high DFW rates and the large amount of time it has taken students to successfully complete these courses. Over the last 4 years, the two-course sequence has been redesigned in stages into a modularized, flexibly paced, and mastery-based format. In this session, the presenters will describe the transformation along with the successes and challenges experienced along the way.
