In this paper, we describe a partnership between Bluegrass Community & Technical College (BCTC) and Pearson Education, where we defined a reengagement trend behavior and used it as a flag for student outreach. Our focus was on a specific mathematics course (Contemporary Mathematics) for non-STEM major students.
Pearson’s Efficacy and Learning team reviewed six of the top OER competitors and evaluated Pearson’s strengths against each of these offerings. Through this work we found that Pearson excels with supporting instructors and helping students achieve personalized outcomes.

James Lee
College of Southern Nevada
20-Aug-2018
James Lee wanted to create a flipped classroom setting that would benefit students, offering the opportunity for independent learning via MyLab Math and an interactive textbook, combined with in-class discussion and active assignments. The MyLab Interactive Assignments and exercise feedback allow students to master objectives prior to attending class, where Lee then solidifies that understanding with active in-class assignments. Data show that students who perform better on the Interactive Assignments perform better on other class assessments.
