NROC … EdReady
Getting Involved with NROC and EdReady
Looking for a replacement to Plato
2011 Piloted NROC’s Developmental Mathematics software
Was introduced to EdReady…thought it was just a review software, tried to get RTC to use it as an entrance assessment refresher
Encouraged by Gary to take another look at EdReady
Explored the customization features and was hooked
Started developing different pathways for programs at RTC
EdReady: Math Pathways Development
Why Develop Math Pathways?
Different programs have different math requirements
Different completion levels have different math requirements
Different colleges have different math requirements
EdReady Math Pathways expedites customization
EdReady Math Pathways expedites implementation
