Initiative Title	Software package: Modu-Math
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	1. A representative from Modu-Math came to a Mathematics Department meeting and demonstrated the use of this package. Faculty were impressed and thought it would be put to good use especially when we get a Math Resource Room Supervisor. 2. Modu-Math is an asynchronous tutorial support program which allows students to enhance their competencies in arithmetic and beginning algebra at their own pace on their own time. This program is especially designed for students in developmental courses. 3. These programs would be installed in HA305, the Math Resource Room. The new Math Resource Supervisor would be able to put these into use for tutoring, extra practice and focus groups. 4. This program would enhance retention for all majors and courses requiring mathematics. 5. Students who wish to take the placement test over or who simply want to practice before taking the test would be able to use these programs to do so thus decreasing the number of developmental math courses offered.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	1. Less self practice for motivated students. 2. No place for new students to practice before taking the assessment test. 3. No change in retention or the number of developmental math courses offered. 4. Failure to expand tutoring and reviewing strategies for those students whose learning styles are uniquely suited to this style of review.

Institutional Goals

Goal	How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
COLLEGE II: To offer a broad program of general education so that students learn to communicate and reason effectively; make independent judgments; and develop an appreciation for learning, a respect for diverse cultures and individuals and a desire for self and societal improvement. 1: To increase learning activities beyond the classroom for students including international studies.
COLLEGE III: To implement technological delivery systems in Academic, Student and Administrative Services. 2: To increase the use of information technologies for enhancing education and communication.
MIDDLESTATES Standard13: Related Educational Activities a: Developmental student learning is very important for the success of under-prepared students. As the college does not utilize consistent, student-specific data on the progress of these students, appropriate resources should be made available to assist the Developmental Education Program in tracking the progress of students and assessing their success after completion of developmental courses. Adequate software, and qualified and sufficient staffing to effectively and efficiently utilize it, should be available to gather important data about the progress of students.
STRATEGIC Priority III: Provide adequate resources to allow College to realize its strategic goals.
AMP V: Student Support e: Ensure that adequate tutor services and academic assistance are available to meet the needs of students
