eMathReady™—Support Program for Online Math Students AUTHORS: Paul Nolting, Ph.D; Fitzroy Farquharson, Ed.D eMathReady™ is the world’s first Student Online Readiness Certification Program (SORCP™), which not only assesses students’ likelihood for succeeding in an online course, but also provides an indication of the degree to which an individual student possesses the attributes, skills and knowledge that contribute to success as an online learner. eMathReady™ also assesses whether a student planning to take an online course: • • • • • • • •

is an independent or dependent learner, has good computer skills, has sufficient prerequisite skills, is able to learn how to structure learningmath online to match their own learning style, is able to master math competencies in a set time period, has good organizational skills, does not procrastinate, has low math anxiety, is not fearful of taking math tests, and has good reading skills.

The flexibility, convenience and growing acceptance of online distance education is creating a new trend in how college students attend classes and earn their degrees. More and more students are gravitating not just towards blended courses where they attend class lectures and participate in online learning activities, but are selecting to enroll in fully online course programs or courses where more than 80 percent of all content is delivered online. According to figures from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and the Sloan Consortium, an advocacy group for online education, the number of students enrolled in at least one distance education course increased significantly between 2002 and 2007, from 1.1 million to 12.2 million—and the growth spurt doesn’t seem to be slowing down. But, with countless studies showing success rates in online courses of only 50 percent—as opposed to between 70 to 75 percent for comparable face-to-face classes— isn’t it time we asked ourselves some serious questions? Are students online ready? If not, what can institutions do to assure that students are ready to take an online course? Ultimately, eMathReady™ is designed to empower institutions with the ability to prepare their online students for the unique challenges of online learning. It not only assesses the current abilities of students, but also provides specific modules, based upon Dr. Paul Nolting’s Winning at Math textbook, to ensure that students obtain the study skills they need to succeed in the future. This includes units on Organization and Procrastination, Math Learning Skills, Math Test-Taking, Academic Skills, Computer Skills, and Math Learning Styles.

ADD Books by Stephanie Moulton Sarkis

$15.95 ISBN 978-1-60882-184-6 135 pages

Stephanie Moulton Sarkis, Ph.D, is an adjunct assistant professor at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, FL, and is a psychotherapist. She is a licensed mental health counselor and nationally certified counselor, and has a private counseling practice. Sarkis won an American Psychological Association Outstanding Dissertation Award in 2001. 10 Simple Solutions to Adult ADD offers 10 easy ways to better manage your symptoms and live better with ADD. Each chapter takes up an issue pertinent to adults with ADD: “My mind wanders.” “I’m always misplacing things.” “I have trouble keeping friends.” “I have a hard time getting started.” In no more than five to seven pages, the book outlines strategies for each problem that are simple to put into practice. If you’re struggling with adult ADD, the information in this book offers you immediate and lasting rewards: better concentration, sharper memory, enhanced focus, and greater self-confidence.

Making it through four years of undergraduate study is a challenge. It’s even more so for people with attention deficit disorder, or ADD. Keeping track of schedules and deadlines, concentrating on lessons, and completing tasks are all hard-learned skills for people with this condition. Because of these difficulties, students with ADD are more likely to drop out of school or spend extra, costly years pursuing their degrees. This book offers young adults with ADD a comprehensive guide to getting the most out of college life. The simple, easy-to-follow chapters in Making the Grade with ADD will help you handle academic issues such as setting schedules, studying, and mastering note- and test-taking. You’ll get tips for developing a healthy lifestyle, participating in extra-curricular activities, and planning for the years after college.

My Math Success Plan: Individualized Study Strategies to Improve Math Grades AUTHOR: Paul Nolting, Ph.D. This self-help workbook—intended for Wounded Warriors and students with disabilities—allows students to assemble their own individualized study plan from a set of custom-built study strategies. The book breaks down exactly how and when a student’s disability affects his or her ability to learn and process new information. This allows students with disabilities to better understand their learning problems and thereby teach themselves various math study skills, which directly address their unique challenges. Because the book does not involve calculations, students do not need to be good in math to understand the material. Offices of Students with Disabilities or Veteran Centers can use this workbook to improve student success in math.

Academic Success Institutional Support Programs Academic Success and its team of consultants and workshop presenters provide just about any level of support needed for institutions to improve student success. This includes Presentations/Keynote addresses, Workshop Training, Consulting and Program Evaluations. We also consult with colleges on math curriculum redesigns and support services.

!

The consultants at Academic Success have provided institution support to over 100 colleges and universities on topics such as Integrating Math Study Skills into the Curriculum, Reducing Anxiety, Improving Developmental Education, Improving Instruction, Tutor Training, Math Summits, Improving Self-Efficacy and Disabilities for counselors, administrators and students. For more, visit www.academicsuccess.com

The consultants and presenters of Academic Success Press are national experts and Dr. Paul Nolting can be reached at [email protected].

!

Presentations/Keynote Addresses

!

Consulting

!

Workshop/Training Session

Workshop/Training Sessions are a combination of a lecture and the involvement of the participants in training exercises. The training will involve individual and group work. An example of this would be a faculty demonstration on how to integrate math study skills into the math classroom.

Presentations are standard lecture format. We present information on a topic of interest with limited audience participation. An example of this would be a lecture on student and faculty learning styles.

Consulting involves the collection of data in a single area of concern and then the use of that data to make decisions on changing institutional processes unique to your college or university. We then provide workshops and training sessions based on these results, putting the newfound information to immediate use. An example of this might include a total review of a math department’s overall effectiveness, followed by a full and detailed report that would suggest improvement strategies and curriculum changes with follow up research.

!

Program Evaluation

Program Evaluations are a lot like our consulting services, except that they take things one step further. An evaluation involves the review of one or more departments (or even an entire institution) in order to determine institutional effectiveness. Data is collected and then a meeting is held between departments. Finally, workshops and other training services are provided. An example of our evaluation measures might include assisting institutions with their Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) or accreditation processes.

Some of the institutional support areas include:

• Math Curriculum Redesigns

• Integrating Math Study Skills into Math Curriculum and Emporium Model Courses

• Developmental Student Success: A Research and Teamwork Approach

• Reducing Students’ Math and Test Anxiety to Improve Grades.

• Learning Assistance/Tutor Training: Learning Styles and Learning Process

• Integrating Math Study Skills and Anxiety Reduction into Advisement

• Math Summit: Improving the Success of Math Students and Institutional Approach

• Developing a Math Study Skills Course

• Helping Veterans Adjust to College

• Learning Styles and Instruction: Improving Student Success

• Teaching, Tutoring and Accommodations for Students with LD, ADHD and TBI

• Integrating Learning Strategies and Study Skills into the Classroom.
